Background
In January 2026, En+ Group announced that its subsidiary JSC En+ Generation had won a competitive capacity auction for new generating facilities held on December 29-30, 2025.[3] The company said it would build a new 1,050 MW thermal power plant to serve Zabaykalsky Krai and the Republic of Buryatia.[3]
According to the company, the plant would consist of three 350 MW units.[3] The first unit was planned to enter operation on July 1, 2031, and the plant was expected to reach its full installed capacity of 1,050 MW by December 1, 2031.[3]
The plant was referred to in press reports and company announcements as Zabaykalskaya TES (Забайкальская ТЭС) or Zabaykalskaya GRES. En+ registered a subsidiary, Zabaykalskaya GRES LLC, to manage electricity generation at the new facility.[4] Capital expenditure for the plant was estimated at over 400 billion rubles (approximately $5.4 billion at January 2026 exchange rates), though En+ initially disclosed a figure of over 300 billion rubles.[5]
The plant was expected to address a projected power deficit of up to 2,074 MW in the south-eastern part of the Siberian Unified Energy System by 2031.[6] The plant was planned to run on coal from the Zashulansky deposit in the Krasnochikoysky district of Zabaykalsky Krai, which is being developed by Razrezugol LLC, a joint venture between En+ and China's CHN Energy.[7] As of May 2026, two potential sites were under consideration: Krasnochikoysky district, close to the coal deposit, and Khiloksky district.[8]
Financing
The project was selected through Russia's competitive capacity auction for new generating facilities (KOM NGO), a mechanism that guarantees the winning developer elevated wholesale market capacity payments for 15 years following commissioning.[3]
