Background
As per news reports from October 2024, a nuclear power plant was planned to be built near the city of Sharypovo by 2037. The Kholmogorsk nuclear plant was supposed to become the largest of those operating in Russia.[4] However, following a public consultation held between August 20 and September 18, 2024, the nuclear power plant was excluded from the General Scheme. A revised draft published in October 2024 proposed instead a new 1,000 MW coal-fired thermal power plant in the energy systems of Krasnoyarsk Krai or Kemerovo Oblast, with a planned commissioning date of 2031.[5] The final General Scheme of Power Sector Development to 2042, approved by the Russian government in December 2024, designated Krasnoyarsk Krai specifically as the location for the new coal plant.[6]
The decision to replace the nuclear power plant with a coal-fired station followed a public consultation held between August 20 and September 18, 2024, during which the System Operator received 248 proposals from 45 individuals and organizations. Participants argued that siting a large nuclear plant in a coal-rich region would create economically irrational competition with the coal industry and hinder development of the Kansk-Achinsk brown coal basin, which holds approximately 80% of Russia's lignite reserves. The Krasnoyarsk nuclear plant was replaced in the planning documents by two smaller nuclear stations: the Seversk nuclear power plant in Tomsk Oblast and the Siberian nuclear power plant in Irkutsk Oblast.[7]
