“The year 2018 was marked by a significant event for Yaivinskaya GRES — 55th anniversary of operation of the plant.
I think that we have worked efficiently, harmoniously and, most importantly, without failures and accidents this year. Among the important measures to improve the reliability of the equipment, I should note the project of upgrading the power supply scheme for auxiliary facilities of the CCGT plant in terms of power supply, as well as the intermediate maintenance of Power Unit No. 4. We have responsibly prepared for the heating period: we have timely identified and replaced emergency sections of the heating network in the settlement and on the industrial site.
Our plant has played and continues to play a key role in providing stable power supply to major industrial facilities of the Perm Region, as well as to cities, towns, and settlements of the upper Kama River area.”

The power plant is located in Yaiva Settlement (the Perm Region) on the bank of a river. It uses natural gas, associated petroleum gas, and steam coal.
Thanks to connection to the gas pipeline transporting associated petroleum gas in 2013, Yaivinskaya GRES completely stopped burning coal and only uses it as reserve fuel.
Within the investment programme, in 2011, a new combined-cycle 424.6 MW power unit was constructed at Yaivinskaya GRES. In 2017, the CCGT gas turbine modernisation was performed in order to increase the installed capacity by 24 MW. Starting from 1 February 2018, Yaivinskaya GRES Power Unit No. 5 has been entered in the System Operator’s register with a new installed capacity of 448 MW. As of now, the total installed capacity of Yaivinskaya GRES equals 1,048 MW.
