Svobodny TPP

The facility was designed to provide reliable power and process steam to the Amur GPP, one of the world’s largest helium production facilities.

The TPP incorporates a multi-stage water treatment system to ensure stable steam supply to the GPP. Water is drawn from 15 artesian wells, drilled to depths of 100-200 meters, and undergoes comprehensive filtration in dedicated workshops. The system processes approximately 380 cubic meters of water per hour - the equivalent of more than six rail tank cars.

Construction progressed rapidly, marked by several milestones: the installation of the first foundation pile in December 2018, the start of boiler and turbine assembly in late 2019. Boiler ignition was achieved in 2020 on Power Engineer’s Day, and the facility entered full operation in April 2021.

The Svobodny TPP is now preparing for a major expansion program. By 2028, a new 315 MW combined-cycle power unit is scheduled for commissioning. This upgrade will reinforce the region's energy infrastructure and support the Amur GPP's long-term development.
