Fortum has inaugurated its new CCGT power plant in Nyagan in Western Siberia (Russia). Nyagan GRES consists of three combined-cycle (CCGT) units utilising energy-efficient gas turbine technology. The Nyagan 1 unit’s capacity was commissioned in March 2013 and is certified to exceed 420 MW. The second of the Nyagan GRES units, Nyagan 2, is currently under testing and is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2013. The Nyagan GRES unit 3 is planned to be commissioned at the end of 2014, ahead of CSA-committed schedule. The site will have a power generation capacity of over 1,250 MW and should produce about 9.8 TWh per year.
Fortum is running an extensive €2.5bn investment programme in Russia, consisting of 8 gas-fired units, 4 of which have already been commissioned. The remaining four units account for the biggest share of capacity in the programme. Construction of all units is expected to be finalised by the end of 2014.
