The main producer of electric and heat energy in the Krai is the joint-stock company, "Khabarovsk-energo," which was established on the base of the regional energy de- partment "Khabarovsk-energo" in May of 1993. "Khabarovsk-energo" owns and operates heat electric generating stations (HEGS), electricity distribution networks up to 220 kw, trunk heat runs of industrial centers, and other installations. "Khabarovsk-energo" is also comprised of electric plants throughout the Jewish Autonomous Region, Power Tines and transformer substations of 500 KW voltage in the Krai have been transferred to the ownership of Russian joint-stock company "EES Rossii" ("RAO "EES Rossii") since 1993.
Power stations in the southern cities of the Krai are connected to the power network of the United Power System "Vostok-energo" and operate within the electric power market of the Far East zone. Only the Nikolaevsk heat and electric generation plant operates in an isolated mode.
Brown coals are the main fuel for the power stations. Mazut and natural gas derived from the Sakhalin deposits are used for the production of neat and electric power as well. The oil processing industry of the Far Eastern Economic Region is concentrated in the Krai and is represented by the "Khabarovsk Oil Refinery" and "Komsomolsk Oil Refinery" joint-stock companies. About 20% of the oil comes from the Sakhalinsk oil fields by way of the "Okha - Komsomolsk-on-Amur" oil pipe line, while 80% is delivered by railroad from Siberia.
1.4 million tons of coal per year are produced at the Urgal black coal deposit, while almost 70% of the coal output is supplied outside the Krai. By me year 2000, an increase of production within the currently operating mines is planned, as well as putting into operation an open coal mining facility capable of producing 1.3 million tons.
In perspective, an establishment of a mixed-capital structure in the Fuel and Energy Complex of the Krai engaged in the prospecting and production of oil, gas and coal mining is possible. Today, a joint-stock company, with the attraction of foreign capital, is engaged in the prospecting and mining of brown coal from the Liansky and Khurmulinsky deposits, and the tests for the industrial utilization of the brown coal of the Marekansky deposit, in the Okhotsk District, have been launched.
Due to a considerable rise in the price of fuel and transportation tariffs, the research for the utilization of renewable sources of power in the northern districts of the Krai has been intensified at the present time.
