Background on Plant

The Cherepovetskaya power station is owned by Gazprom, and contains three units, totaling 630 MW, which are coal-fired; the rest of the plant is gas-fired. The plant’s three coal-fired units were brought online between 1976 and 1978.

In November 2018 it was reported that the plant's three units would be retired as of Jan. 1, 2021. The power supplied by the plant would be replaced by a new gas-fired plant and gas pipelines.
