Background
The power plant includes Unit 3 of 60MW and Unit 1 of 25 MW.
Historically, the power plant has been providing power to both the Yurginsky Machinery factory and the city of Yurga.[1] With the troubles of the factory, the plant has been supplying power and heat solely for the city of Yurga.[2]
In June 2017 it was reported that the plant would become government property[3], but in January 2019 that the plant's and the factory's new shareholder will be Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC).[4] However it appeared that either UMMC didn't complete the acquisition or has later sold the assets, as at the end of 2019 the new beneficiaries of the factory became RT-Capital, part of Rostech.[5][6]
In April 2019 a separate legal entity Yurginskaya CHP LLC was created.[7] The decision to form a separate legal entity was an attempt to maintain continuity of heating and power generation services to the city of Yurga despite the bankruptcy of the Yurginsky Machinery factory, which fully closed operations in 2020.[2] However Yurginskaya CHP LLC was formally owned by the factory.[6][8]
When regional authorities stepped in to compel the Yurginskaya CHP to pay wages owed to workers, it forced the power station into bankruptcy as well. In June 2021, the total debt of the power station to all its partners was fluctuating around half a billion roubles. The massive debt of the power station has prevented it from making necessary repairs - in June of 2021 it was operating at 60% capacity and was unable to meet the electricity and heating needs of the city of Yurga.[9] Bankruptcy proceedings for the power station began in court in January 2022. The company owed at least 1.3 billion roubles to its creditors.[10][11] In June 2022, the Arbitration Court of the Kemerovo Region declared bankruptcy for Yurginskaya CHP LLC, and bankruptcy proceedings were started (the final stage of the bankruptcy procedure, at which the debtor's property is sold in order to give the proceeds to his creditors).[6]
In February 2022, Rostekhnadzor specialists revealed a number of serious violations during the inspection: Rostekhnadzor issued an order to LLC Integral (an operator of hazardous facilities at the Yurga CHPP) on the need to eliminate all 57 violations and initiated two administrative cases: on violation of the rules for the use of fuel and energy, as well as industrial safety requirements.[12]
As of June 2022, the heat and hot water supply to the city continued, but was provided by another company, although no name was stated.[13] At the end of 2022, the plant was still considered operational as it was not confirmed whether operations have been suspended or not.
As of February 2023, the plant was listed in the System Operator's document as being operated by LLC Integral, with two units (25 MW and 60MW) operating on coal. The document foresaw that both units will continue in the period 2023-2028.[14] Integral LLC has now established a website, stating that in 2021 it has received the status of the heat supply organization in Yurga and operates both on coal and gas.[15] It appeared that gas supplies to the plant were ceased earlier due to high levels of debt[16][17], so that could be why the System Operator's document from 2023 listed the plant as coal-fired only.
In January 2023, Rostekhnadzor reiterated a number of serious technical violations at the plant, lack of required maintenance and using inappropriate coal. According to the report, Integral LLC was the plant's operator and the company and its 5 officials were brought to administrative responsibility.[18]
