Project

The Company's top-priority activities are:

  • implementing the investment project for constructing a thermal power plant (TPP) in Grozny;

  • implementing the investment project for constructing the facility "Amur TPP. Meeting the demands of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (Amur GPP). Construction of the main technological complex of the Amur TPP (2x80 MW steam power units)";

  • implementing the investment project for constructing the facility "Amur TPP. Meeting the demands of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (Amur GPP). Construction of the power and substation system (220/110 kV outdoor switchgear with 220/110 kV overhead power line)";

 

Implementation of the project "Grozny TPP Construction".

Grozny TPP construction is provisioned by the 2012-2016 Program for development of the energy industry of the Chechen Republic, approved by the Order of the Government of the Chechen Republic No.164 dd. October 11, 2011, and included in the List of top-priority projects of the Chechen Republic (Order of the Government of the Chechen Republic No.141 dd. July 24, 2012).

Grozny TPP construction project was reviewed and approved by federal executive authorities, and included in the North Caucasian Federal District Social and Economic Development Strategy 2025 approved by the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1485 dd. September 6, 2010.

By the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 238-r dd. February 16, 2016, Grozny TPP construction project was included in the List of generating facilities to supply capacity according to capacity supply agreements.

Project implementation is to provide electric energy to Chechen Republic consumers, decrease energy deficit across the region, expand the sales area, and ensure profitability by covering growing electric loads.

Within the area of the former CHPP-3, a two-plant gas-turbine unit will be constructed (Phase 1).

Gas-turbine units are to be located in the gas-turbine building. As planned, the construction will go in phases, with start-up facilities, each consisting of one gas-turbine plant.

According to the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 238-r dd. February 16, 2016, Grozny TPP construction is to be finished in June 2018 (Facility No. 6), and in December 2018 (Facility No. 7).

According to the letter of OGK-2 PJSC No. 01-501/12114 dd. July 11, 2017 to FSC JSC on the intention to use the right to delay the start date of fulfilling capacity supply obligations, the deadlines were extended:

Facility No. 6 — June 30, 2019

Facility No.7 — December 31, 2019

At the moment, measures are taken to start up the energy facility at an earlier date.

 

implementing the investment project for constructing the facility "Amur TPP. Meeting the demands of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (Amur GPP). Construction of the main technical complex of Amur TPP facilities (2x80 MW steam power units)".

The Minutes No. 01-13 of the Meeting with the Gazprom Chairman of the Board A. Miller dd. March 16, 2015, the scheme of combine power supply of the gas processing plant and gas chemical complex through constructing a thermal power station in the Amur Region, with reservation of the external energy system capacity.

Max capacity of the Amur gas processing plant amounts to 203.044 MW.

Construction of the Amur TPP is to ensure reliable power supply of the gas processing plant and minimize expenses related to connection to the external electric network. The station and power supply center are to be constructed in the Svobodny District (Amur Region), within the jurisdiction of Dmitriyevsky and Zheltoyarovsky rural councils.

Cogeneration mode operation of the station is to improve the efficiency of using fuel to produce heat and power.

Construction of the Amur TPP is to optimize capital and operating expenses of the gas processing plant, related to power supply.

Commissioning of two 80 MW steam power units: December 25, 2020

The cost of construction of the Amur TPP and power supply center, aimed at providing the Amur gas processing plant with power, is to come to around 31.90 billion rubles (VAT excluded), considering connecting the power supply center to 220 kV networks of FGC UES PJSC.

According to the results of front-end engineering design, the Amur TPP is to be constructed based on steam power units (2xPT-80 + switchgear) having the total power of 160 MW. Further amplification, in order to cover demands of the Amur gas chemical complex, is possible (to be determined separately).

 

implementing the investment project for constructing the facility "Amur TPP. Meeting the demands of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (Amur GPP). Construction of the power and substation system (220/110 kV outdoor switchgear)".

The Minutes No. 01-13 of the Meeting with the Gazprom Chairman of the Board A. Miller dd. March 16, 2015, the scheme of combine power supply of the gas processing plant and gas chemical complex through constructing a thermal power station in the Amur Region, with reservation of the external energy system capacity.

Max capacity of the Amur gas processing plant amounts to 203.044 MW.

Construction of the 220/110 kV outdoor switchgear with the 220/110 kV overhead power line will ensure reliable power supply of the gas processing plant, and providing first 25 MW to cover demands of the Amur gas processing plant as early as in September 2018. The construction is to take place in the Svobodny District (Amur Region), within the jurisdiction of Dmitriyevsky and Zheltoyarovsky rural councils, in the area sharing borders with the Amur TPP.

The cost of construction of the 220/110 kV outdoor switchgear with the 220/110 kV overhead power line is to come to around 10.05 billion rubles (VAT excluded), considering connecting the power supply center to 220 kV networks of FGC UES PJSC.

Construction shall be made in three phases (deadlines specified):

  1. Construction of the 220/110 kV outdoor switchgear with the 110 kV overhead power line with 220 kV feeders and first 220/110/10 kV autotransformer 125000 (FGC UES responsibility area): September 2018;

  2. Second autotransformer, volumetric-expansion turbine, and three 110 kV overhead power lines to the Amur gas processing plant: December 2020;

  3. Expansion of the outdoor switchgear to supply power to the Amur gas chemical complex, with the installation of the third and fourth autotransformers: June 2023.
