Cherepovetskaya GRES

The primary fuel for the power plant is DSSH- and DMSSH-grade coal from Khakassia (Stepnoy coal strip mine, Chernogorskaya Coal Company, Khakassrazrez-Ugol, Vostochno-Beisky), Inta (Intaugol) and Kuznetsk (Yevtinsky and Zadubovsky coal strip mines) and natural gas. The reserve fuel is gas; the starting fuel is gas and fuel oil.

Competing with Cherepovetskaya GRES are plants connected to the region via 500 kV power lines, i.e. Kostromskaya GRES (JSC “INTER RAO – Electric Power Plants”) and Konakovskaya GRES (JSC Enel “OGK-5”) (flexible generation), as well as Kalininskaya NPP (JSC Concern Rosenergoatom) (750 kV power line, base schedule). Cherepovetskaya GRES has a competitive advantage because it is able to use both coal and gas for power generation.
