Ownership Tree

Background
The nine-unit, 1,345-MW coal-fired Tom-Usinskaya GRES power station is owned by Kuzbassenergo, which in turn is owned by SUEK.[3][4]
The plant’s nine units and fourteen boilers were brought online between 1958 and 1965.[5][6][7] In 2014 a rebuilt Unit 4 with 124 MW capacity was commissioned and a rebuilt Unit 5 with 121 MW capacity was commissioned.[7]
In 2021, the power plant produced 5,124 million kWh of electricity, in 2020 it was 6,598 million kWh.[8] In 2022, power generation was 6,338 million kWh.[9] The plant generated 5,379 million kWh in 2025.[10]
Unit 10
In 2008 a plan to build an additional 660-MW unit was announced as part of a plan to increase the plant's capacity.[11] As of December 2019 the plan to build an additional 660-MW unit has not progressed and the project appeared to be cancelled.
Modernization/Referbishment
In June 2021, SUEK announced that it would invest RUR 19 billion toward modernization efforts at the Tom-Usinskaya power station.[12] The power plant was selected for the federal COMMod program for modernizing energy generation equipment, where selected plants will receive capacity payments for 15 years.[13][14] Modernization work began at Tom-Usinskaya in December 2021 and is expected to last until 2026.[15]
In December 2021, it was reported that the modernization would include units 6, 7 and 9, as well as other equipment at the station such as the cooling towers.[16] The new cooling towers would support the modernized units 6, 7 and 9; the program additionally included modernization of units 8 and 3 of the station.[17] In February 2022, unit 7 was being replaced with a new turbine. The boiler unit #12, linked to the turbine unit #7, was also under reconstruction at this time. The entire modernization project was expected to continue until 2026 with the estimated budget of RUB 30.9 billion.[18]
In June 2022, the turbine for unit 7 was completely replaced with a new turbine unit with capacity of 200 MW. The boiler #12 was reported to be fully refurbished (although it was not replaced, only modernized).[19]
Refurbishment of unit 6 started in July 2023.[20][21][22] In February 2024, the Russian manufacturer ELSIB shipped a stator to the plant, the largest component of the turbogenerator.[23] In February 2025 it was reported that the modernziation of unit 6 was completed. Works on unit 9 were under way and unit 8 was the next one to undergo modernization.[24] However around the same time it was reported that the company was allowed to cancel the planned modernization due to supply chain issues and rising equipment costs.[25][26]
In February 2026, Unit 9 successfully completed integrated tests, confirming its 200 MW electrical capacity across all test regimes. By that point, three units — No. 6, No. 7 and No. 9 — had been modernised under the DPM-2 programme. Modernisation of Unit 8 was simultaneously under way, involving replacement of boiler No. 13A (steam output 320 tonnes per hour) and generator TG-8 (200 MW), with completion planned by end of 2026.[27]
