Background

The two proposed units 80 MW each are part of the new construction project of the Yakutsk GRES-2 power station (Якутская ГРЭС-2). Phase I of this construction project included installation of four combined cycle units (gas turbine with waste heat boilers) 41 MW each at Yakutsk GRES-2 power station (Якутская ГРЭС-2).[13]

Phase II of the project includes installation of two gas turbine units with waste heat boilers (combined cycle) 80 MW each[14], on a site close to the current location of the Yakutsk GRES power station (Якутская ГРЭС). This location proximity will significantly reduce construction costs due to the partial use of the infrastructure of the existing station (gas supply networks, electric and thermal power generation facilities, roads, etc.). The existing Yakutsk GRES will be decommissioned after the completion of the construction of the new plant, scheduled for 2025.[14][15] In June 2021, the project proposal has passed the official government review (Glavgosexpertisa), indicating a green light for construction.[15] In February 2022, RusHydro was conducting preparatory work at the construction site, which included dismantling a number of facilities of the Yakutsk GRES.[16] The project was included in the Ministry of Energy 2022-2028 energy program, released in February 2022, with a start date of 2025.[17]

In August 2022, it was reported that due to the sanctions, several RusHydro projects, including this one, were experiencing difficulties: the turbines for this station were expected to be supplied by GE and now this is no longer possible.[18] The company was exploring alternatives, such as Russian- or Iranian-made turbines, and is forced to re-design the project proposal to include the alternative turbine options. According to this source, this has caused the project to be delayed by two years, to 2027.[18]

The project was listed in the Russian Ministry of Energy 2023-2028 and 2024-2029 energy programs. Unit 1 is scheduled to be launched in 2026 and Unit 2 in 2027. [9][19] In October 2023, it was reported that the front-end engineering design of the project was in progress.[20] According to an order issued by the Russian government in December 2023, Unit 1 (steam turbine) will be commissioned by July 1, 2026 and Unit 2 (steam turbine) - by July 1, 2027. [21] The construction is expected to begin in 2024.[22]
