{{#badges:CoalSwarm|Navbar-Russiacoal}}Sakhalin GRES-2 power station is a 120-megawatt (MW) proposed coal-fired power plant in Sakhalin province, Russia. A further 240 MW was proposed but cancelled.

Location

The map below shows the location of the project, according to Wikimapia, near the village of Ilyinskoye, Tomarinsky district, Sakhalin province.[1]

Background on Plant

The firm Sakhalinenergo — a subsidiary of RAO Energy System of East, which is itself a subsidiary of RusHydro — is currently engaged in a project to build a 360-MW coal-fired power plant 5 km from the village of Ilyinskoye, on the southwest coast of Sakhalin. The plant is planned to replace the aging Sakhalin GRES-1 power station — a separate, 252-MW coal-fired power plant, also owned by Sakhalinenergo, which is located on the east coast of Sakhalin, about 120 km to the northeast.[2][3][4][5]

The first of the three phases of Sakhalin GRES-2, totaling 120-MW, was originally planned to begin construction in mid-2014 and be completed in 2016. Ownership of the plant will be transferred to a new RusHydro subsidiary, JSC Sakhalin GRES-2, at some future date. It is unclear when the other two phases would be built.[2][6]

Construction on Phase 1 began in March 2015, with Mosenergo as the construction contractor.[7][8] The plant's chimney was completed in July 2016.[9]

As of August 2016, completion was scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2017,[10] later pushed to 2018.[11] As of March 2018, construction on Phase 1 was 70% complete, and completion was scheduled for the end of 2018.[12] In October 2018 RusHydro announced that the plant would be finished in 2019.[13] In November 2019 the two 60-MW units were commissioned.[14]

As of June 2019 there has been no further news about Phase II or Phase III of the project and they appear to be cancelled.
