Construction of the third power unit – a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT unit) with installed capacity of 800 megawatt — is planned to be launched in 2009 and completed in 2012.
Under the 15-year agreement, TNK-BP will supply the third power unit of the Nizhevartovsk GRES with pre-treated lean gas. TNK-BP’s annual deliveries to two operating power units at the Nizhnevartovsk GRES currently equal 3 billion cubic metres of gas.
The new unit will consume an additional 1.2 billion cubic metres of gas per year. TNK-BP will also annually purchase about 6 billion kilowatt per hour of generated electric power from the third unit.
TNK-BP and OGK-1 have established the joint venture NVGRES HOLDING LIMITED for the project realization. TNK-BP owns a 25% stake plus 1 share in the joint venture which the company acquired for $356 million. OGK-1 has paid for its shareholding in the jv by contributing two operating power units of the Nizhnevartovsk GRES.
