Background

The Yuzhno-Sakhalinskaya 1 power station is owned by Sakhalinenergo, which in turn is owned by RusHydro.[7][8] The plant is part of the Sakhalin energy system, which is an isolated island system operating separately from United Power System of Russia.[9] However, starting from 2024 the energy system of the Sakhalin region will be operating under the management of System Operator of the Unitеd Power System of Russia (SO UPS) and will be included in the "Scheme and program for development of the power system of Russia" released annually by the Ministry of Energy of Russia.[10]

The station consists of two independent production facilities. The older facility, containing power units 1-3, consists of 5 boiler units and 3 turbine units, connected with a cross-link configuration, with total capacity of 215 MW. This section of the power station was originally designed to burn coal, but all five boiler units were converted to burn gas between 2011 and 2013. Coal remained as reserve fuel.[9]

The second production facility, consisting of power units 4 & 5 with 230 MW of gas-fired capacity, became fully operational in 2013 and 2012, accordingly.[9][11][12][13]

Bribery charges against plant's deputy director

In September 2020 the plant's former deputy director plead guilty to charges of taking 1,860,000 rubles in bribes from representatives of Far Eastern Engineering Company LLC in exchange for modifying a contract for the reconstruction of the plant's railway tracks.[14]
