Background on Plant

The two-unit, 200-MW coal-fired Sakhalin GRES-1 power station is owned by RusHydro. The plant’s four currently productive units were brought online between 1965 and 1972. The plant's first two units have been retired.

Running on aging equipment, the Sakhalin GRES-1 power station has been running below its nameplate capacity for years; it is planned to be shut down once the new Sakhalin GRES-2 power station is completed.
