Background on Plant
The Berezovskaya GRES power plant is a two-unit, 1,600-MW coal-fired power plant in the Krasnoyarsk territory of Siberia. When the project was begun in 1976, the plant was originally intended to be an eight-unit, 6,400-MW plant; however, after the first two units were completed in 1988 and 1991, financing for the project ran out. In 2007, the plant was acquired by E.ON Russia, a subsidiary of the German company E.ON AG.

Description of Expansion
In May 2011, E.ON began work on building a third 800-MW unit at the plant, at a cost of $1.4 billion. The state Glavgosexpertiza, the state agency in charge of building permits, approved the project in July 2012. Construction is expected to be completed in 2015.
