CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
The power plant is owned by TGC-14. The ownership of TGC-14 changed in early 2022 when a subsidiary of Russian Railways and other shareholders sold their stakes to the Far Eastern Management Company JSC (AO Дальневосточная управляющая компания), which consolidated more than 90% in TGC-14. Two private individuals are shareholders of the Far Eastern Management Company - Konstantin Lulchev and Victor Myasnik.[8]
Power and heat for the city of Ulan-Ude are currently supplied by the Ulan Ude CHP-1 power station, which began operation in 1936. It struggles to meet the city's demand. Construction of the coal-fired Ulan-Ude TPP-2 power station began during the Soviet era; the station came online in 1991, when it began supplying heat as a peak plant to Ulan-Ude, but not electricity.[9] The government planned to continue work at Ulan-Ude TPP-2 with construction of power generating units, but those plans fell through when the USSR collapsed in 1991, and the plant remains unfinished, working only as a boiler house to provide heat. The original Soviet plans for the power station included 840 MW of electricity generation.[10]
Plant Completion
In November 2017 the regional government of Buryatia applied to the Russian government for permission to allocate funds for the construction of two 115-MW coal-fired units at Ulan-Ude CHPP-2.[11] In September 2019, at the Eastern Economic Forum, the Far East Investment Promotion and Export Support Agency (ANO "IPA"), and the plant's owner TGC-14 signed a cooperation agreement to build the plant for an estimated 33 million roubles.[12] However, in 2020 it was reported that the project was still struggling to find funding.[13] As of January 2022, there was no indication that construction on power-generating units at Ulan-Ude CHPP-2 has begun.
In February 2022, new shareholders of the company visited the station and discussed plans for modernization and construction.[14] In May 2022, this proposal was again discussed at a meeting of the Far East Development Corporation in Moscow. It was mentioned that the previous budget proposed in 2018 was no longer sufficient for the project.[15]
In May 2022, construction of gas-fired units was also discussed in light of current gasification projects in Buryatia.[15] In August 2022, intent for finishing construction of the station was approved by senators of the Russian Federation Council, via the adoption of a Resolution on state support of significant national projects. In August, a delegation of senators held a site visit to the station and a meeting to discuss financing for the remainder of the project. The power station was intended to provide both heat and electricity in the future. The estimated cost of the project was stated at 30 billion roubles.[16] In September 2022, it was reported that the station may run on coal or on natural gas, with slightly higher likelihood of coal as the primary fuel at this time.[17][18]
In February and April 2023, the project continued to be discussed by the regional authorities and politicians. According to these media reports, the focus is on the heat part of the CHP plant, which should allow to close down 33 local coal-fired boiler houses, improving the environmental situation in Ulan-Ude. The project may be implemented in phases with the heat component being prioritized.[19][20] Although no fuel was mentioned in the recent media reports, it appears that they implied coal-fired generation.
In September 2023, the Government of the Republic of Buryatia and TGC-14 signed agreements of intent to jointly implement the project.[21] Estimated investment cost is 30 billion roubles until 2030. The announcement mentioned that all the technical documents have been prepared and sent for approval by the relevant authorities. The project was planned to be implemented in the form of a concession with financing from Russian development financial institutions DOM.RF, VEB.RF as well as commercial banks.[21] It was still not clear whether this would be a coal-fired or a gas-fired plant.
2024 Proposal
In March 2024, it was announced that a project to build a 65MW unit was approved in the competition for the construction of new generation to cover the energy deficit in the south-eastern part of Siberia. The project has to be completed by the end of 2028. [22][23][24] The unit was confirmed to be coal-fired.[25][26] There was no mention of another unit to be built in the future, so it was presumed Shelved.
Service interruptions in winter
The station, together with Ulan Ude CHP-1 power station, has been experiencing technical issues which often resulted in heating disruptions. In 2021, there were 354 complaints from customers related to heating disruption, and in 2022, 73.[27]
Financing
As of September 2023, the project is planned to be implemented in the form of a concession with financing from Russian development financial institutions DOM.RF, VEB.RF as well as commercial banks.[21]
