3 December 2020, Thursday

From November 30 to December 1, a selection of projects was carried out for the upgrade of thermal power plants with the start of power supply in 2026 (COMmod-2026). On December 1, preliminary results of the selection were published on the website of System Operator of the Unified Power System. A total of 54 applications were submitted for participation in the selection. Fifteen applications from six energy companies were selected.

Of the 15 selected bids, 8 were accounted for the first pricing zone (European part and the Urals). Tatarstan is represented by one project, the upgrade of the turbine at the Nizhnekamsk CHPP-1 of TGK-16. According to preliminary results, the TGK-16 energy company (part of TAIF Group) received the right to upgrade 100 MW of capacity with the replacement of the turbine and its auxiliary equipment, closing the list of selected projects in the first pricing zone with the highest price indicator.

Within a month, the UPS System Operator will check the reliability of the projects’ technical parameters indicated by the participants, after which the Russian Government will approve the final list of COMMod-2026 projects.

For TGK-16, this will be the fifth project within the upgrade programme of generating facilities of thermal power plants. In February of this year, four applications from the energy company have already been selected for 2025. The upgrade of steam turbines at Nizhnekamsk CHPP-1 and Kazan CHPP-3 with a total capacity of 417 MW will result in increasing the efficiency and reliability of heat and power supply to consumers.
