Energy infrastructure upgrade programme

Programme goal: renovate generation facilities and energy grid infrastructure to ensure reliable supply of all types of energy to consumers in the Norilsk Industrial District.

Gas and gas condensate exploration, production, and transportation

  • Drilling of five new gas wells at the Pelyatkinskoye gas condensate field.
  • In 2023, the bulk of construction and installation works was completed as part of retrofitting a gas pipeline’s underwater crossing of the Bolshaya Kheta River.
  • In 2023, stage one of retrofitting the Tukhard–Messoyakha–Yuzhno‑Soleninskoye–Severo‑Soleninskoye methanol pipeline was completed.
  • In 2023, at the Severo‑Soleninskoye gas condensate field, construction and installation of a booster compressor station were completed, with the station now at the pre‑commissioning stage.
Energy infrastructure

Contribution to energy efficiency: reinforced emphasis on higher output of the new generating units at СHPPs and HPPs and comprehensive energy loss reduction throughout the electricity value chain.

Combined heat and power plants

Revamps of Units Nos. 1 and 2 at NTEC’s CHPP‑2. The new Unit No. 1 was commissioned.

The core equipment of Unit No. 2 of CHPP‑2 was completely installed in 2023 and is scheduled for commissioning in 2024.

Also in 2023, three tanks at CHPP‑1 and CHPP‑2 were installed, and the installation of a tank at CHPP‑3 is nearing completion.
