Since beginning operation in 2010, the Vankorskaya gas turbine power plant has generated 20 billion kWh of electricity and 5 million Gcal of thermal energy. The plant’s gas turbine units primarily use associated petroleum gas as fuel, with an average daily consumption of 1.6 million cubic metres.

The Vankorskaya GTPP supplies electricity and heat to the Vankor oilfield, which is operated by RN-Vankor (part of Rosneft’s oil production complex). Prior to its connection to the country’s Unified Energy System in 2015, the plant was the sole electricity provider for the Vankor production site. Connecting to the UES has greatly increased the Vankor field’s electricity supply options.

Approximately 12,000 energy-saving measures were implemented in the Vankor cluster in 2025, reducing electricity consumption by 55 million kWh. The most significant impact was achieved by using energy-efficient submersible pumping equipment for mechanised oil production.

Improvement of production asset efficiency is one of the key components of the Rosneft Strategy. The Company and its subsidiaries carry out systematic work aimed at rational use of resources, optimisation of electricity consumption, and distribution of electricity loads.
