EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We refer to our Preliminary Report to Underwriters, dated April 05, 2021, in which we provided
initial information about damage to the main equipment of power unit No.4 at Cherepovetskaya
GRES on January 12, 2021 and the causes thereof.

Following our review of the provided documents and information concerning the circumstances
of the incident, we are satisfied that the incident resulted from erroneous and negligent actions
by the staff while performing switching operations in the switchboard, which resulted in de-
energizing of power unit No.4 and loss of control of the power unit’s equipment (including lube
oil pumps) and subsequent damage to the insured property of power unit No.4.

Since we last reported, the Insured have provided documents required for our adjustment of
the claim, including documents in support of actual reinstatement costs for the damaged
property in the amount of RUB 1 852 567 111,06 (net of VAT).

The fact that the works were performed is supported by work completion certificates (including
KS-2 and KS-3 forms) and the power unit’s equipment was provided with protective enclosures
after repairs which limited access for inspection, therefore, we did not go on a visit to inspect
the repaired facility in order to optimize adjustment costs. The fact that the power unit was
repaired and returned to service as normal has been independently checked with the System
Operator.

Following our review and adjustment of reinstatement costs, we estimate the Insured’s loss at
RUB 1 769 704 983,07. In view of the above, we are able to recommend the amount of
RUB 1 759 704 983,07, net of the deductible (RUB 10 000 000) in full and final settlement to
the claim.

We, therefore, complete our adjustment of this claim. Should Underwriters agree to our
recommendations, we believe, the file in respect of this claim may be closed following the
indemnity payment.

installed capacity of 17,163 GW.

Cherepovetskaya
GRES

Figure 1. Location of the power plants of PJSC OGC-2

Cherepovetskaya GRES is the largest power plant in Vologda region, in the construction
camp of Kaluy, 50 km west of the city of Cherepovets. The installed capacity to the power
plant is 450MW. The company is a branch of PJSC OGC-2.

When power unit No.4 was commissioned in November 2014, it had a capacity of 420
megawatt (PGU-420). In 2017-2018, the power unit was modernized and its installed capacity
increased to 450MW. The main type of fuel is natural gas and standby fuel is diesel fuel.

PGU-420 is a single shaft unit comprising a 300MW gas turbine, a 150MW steam turbine and
a generator set:

CIRCUMSTANCES

We have been provided with the Report of Investigation into the causes of the incident on
12.01.2021 (hereinafter – the Report of Investigation), No.1, which states that the load of
power unit No.4 was 427,5 MW.

According to the Report of Investigation, the incident scenario was as follows:

“On 12.01.2021 at 0720 hours a warning of voltage drop to 209V was displayed at the main
switchboard of the automatic control system.
...
On 12.01.2021 at 1038 hours, relay protection and control specialists of the power plant
performed an inspection as prescribed by the manufacturing plant and established that the
control boards A-1 of overvoltage protectors 1 and 2 were out of order and the direct current
board of the power control center was only powered by the battery

To prevent the equipment from tripping on voltage drop in the direct current board of the power
control center of power unit No.4 (PGU-420), electrical shop supervisor and deputy chief
engineer made a decision to temporarily energize the direct current board of the power control
center from one of the overvoltage protectors of direct current board-3 (plantwide) by means
of a power cable circa 30m in length, with some changes made to the normal circuit of the
direct current board of the power control center to ensure work safety, namely, the manually
operated breaker “Power Input from Overvoltage Protector No.1 40BLT10” was switched off.
...
Electrical shop supervisor Silin A.A. made sure that the temporary circuit was correct and gave
a permission to apply voltage to the direct current board of the power control center. At 1412
hours the direct current board of the power control center was under ≈210 V. Supervisor Silin
A.A. who was in the direct current board room reported to deputy chief engineer Simeruk V.V.
that repairs had been successfully completed and instructed to stop all switching operations.

At 1413 hours, electrical shop shift supervisor Kuzmarov S.A. mistakenly instructed senior
electrician Gromov Yu.A. to switch off the manual breaker “Power Input from Overvoltage
Protectior No.2 40BLT20”, senior electrician Gromov Yu.A. did as instructed, which caused
the only remaining power input of the direct current board of the power control center to switch
off.

This led to a loss of control of the GTU equipment and direct current devices, process
protection systems and mechanisms were switched off. The power unit’s generator was
switched to a driving mode with a peak consumption of 70MW.

At 1415 hours, power supply to the direct current board of the power control center was
resumed after the manual breaker was switched on, “Power Input from Overvoltage Protector
No.2 40BLT20”.
At 1415 hours, generator circuit breaker switched off, emergency oil pumps of the turbines
were switched on.

Page | 6 // MDR1750
At 1415 hours, generator hydrogen discharge button was pressed on control board-2 of the
turbine and boiler shop, booster compressors 1,2 and 3 stopped. Ventilation cooling towers
VG -1А, 2А, 2В, PEN-VD-4B were stopped.

At 1420 hours, electrical shop personnel switched the generator to argon.


At 1509 hours, 24V power was supplied the automatic control system equipment which started
loading. At 1511 hours, the automatic control equipment was loaded and resumed normal
operation”.

INVESTIGATION AND CAUSE


To investigate the causes and circumstances of the incident, the Insured issued Order No.3
dated January 12, 2021 to set up an investigation commission, including:

Chairman: Director of Cherepovetskaya GRES.


Deputy chairman:
deputy chief engineer for operation;
deputy chief engineer for repairs.
Members:
HSE supervisor;
boiler and turbine shop-2 supervisor;
thermal instrumentation and control shop superviso;
electrical shop supervisor;
shop supervisor;
shop supervisor head of financial and economic department ФЭУ;
lead engineer HSE;
senior inspector for operation of power plants (secretary);
HSE director of PJSC OGC-2;
combined cycle unit supervisor of PJSC OGC-2;
chief HSE expert of PJSC OGC-2.

On January 21, 2021, Orders 31 and 39 were issued to appoint additional members to the
investigation commission:
deputy director for corporate protection;
deputy chief engineer, head of technical services department of PJSC OGC-2;
director of engineering center LLC Gas Turbine Service (as may be agreed);
representative from JSC SOGAZ.

The commission completed their investigations on January 29, 2021 and issued the Report of
Investigation:

Organizational Causes:
“Power unit No.4 (PGU-420) tripped due to the open position of the automatic natural gas and
diesel fuel shutoff valves as a result of the voltage drop on the direct current board of the power
control center.

Page | 7 // MDR1750
The voltage drop resulted from incorrect switching of the breaker “Power Input from
Overvoltage Protector-2 40BLT20” by electrical shop personnel.

Electrical shop shift supervisor himself took a decision to switch off the breaker “Power Input
from Overvoltage Protector-2 40BLT20” and erroneously instructed his subordinates to
perform the switching.

Following the shift supervisor’s instruction, senior electrician of the electrical shop switched off
the breaker “Power Input from Overvoltage Protector-2 40BLT20”, causing power unit No.4
(PGU-420) to trip.

The complex switching operations were performed without a switchover program, switchover
sheet.
Switching of the electric units was performed without a work permit.

Changes to the design arrangement of the direct current board of the power control center
were made without a written order from the power plant’s technical director and without consent
of the design organization and manufacturing plant”.

Technical Causes :
“Switching off the breaker “Power Input from Overvoltage Protector-2 40BLT20” resulted in a
loss of power supply from direct current board-3 to direct current board of the power control
center and subsequent trip of power unit No.4 (PGU-420) and loss of control of the gas turbine
and steam turbine equipment”.

Therefore, based on the Report of Investigation, the incident scenario appears to be as follows:

On January 12, 2021 at 1038 hours, the power plant personnel discovered that the
control boards A-1 of the overvoltage protection devices UZP-1 and UZP-2 were out of
order and the direct current board of the power control center was powered not by the
internal power network but by a battery;

To prevent the equipment of power unit No.4 from tripping on voltage drop, the staff
made a decision to temporarily energize the direct current board of the power control
center from a standby power source by means of a power cable;

At 1412 hours the necessary operations had been successfully completed;

At 1413 hours the direct current board of the power control center was de-energized
as a result of a wrong switching command;

Control of the equipment of power unit No.4 was lost, including lube oil pumps that
were switched off, causing damage to the main equipment.

The investigation revealed failure of the control board. As a result of the incident, the direct
current board of the power control center was de-energized and appeared to be powered by a
battery and not from the internal power network. While power was supplied to the direct current

Page | 8 // MDR1750
board of the power control center from the battery, the staff were able to prevent damage to
the equipment by performing any of the following:
Emergency shutdown of power unit No.4 and subsequent repair/replacement of control
boards;
Connect the direct current board of the power control center to the power network after
finalizing a switchover program approved by the system operator’s dispatchers.

Following our review of the provided documents and information concerning the circumstances
of the incident, we are satisfied that the incident resulted from erroneous and negligent actions
by the staff while performing switching operations, which caused tripping of power unit No.4
and loss of control of power unit’s equipment (including lube oil pumps), leading to subsequent
damage to the insured property of power unit No.4.

Following our adjustment, we have disallowed the Insured’s costs that are unrelated to the
incident or are not supported by documents. In particular, the disallowed costs include:
Supply of rotor clamp nut for the turbine generator, which was damaged as a result of
normal wear and during the strip-down;
Supply of repair tools and accessories (stand, frame, pedestal) for temporary use such
as equipment arrangement and storage during repairs after which the tools can be
returned to the manufacturing plant or used for maintenance of the power unit;
Supply of spares for replacement due to normal wear, unrelated to the incident;
Costs related to repair works, transportation services and customs charges have been
proportionately deducted in accordance with the number of necessary spares
(components).

We have also calculated the salvage value and adjusted the costs accordingly.

In the course of our adjustment, we also checked reinstatement costs against average market
rates, including the following:
In respect of contractor JSC TEK Mosenergo, we verified work completion certificates
(KS-2 forms) against Federal Unit Prices (FUP);
In respect of LLC Siemens Gas Turbine Technologies that is an authorized
representative of Siemens (equipment manufacturer), which had all necessary design
documents for repairs, we note that the contractor used their own rates, therefore, we

Page | 17 // MDR1750
compared the cost of works with repair costs at Cherepovetskaya GRES (before the
accident) and other facilities of Siemens that include combined cycle plants based on
the gas turbine SGT5-4000F, namely, Tyumenskaya CHPP-2, CHPP 16 and CHPP 20
of JSC Mosenergo, and Yuzhnouralskaya GRES-2.

Following our review, we are able to confirm that the cost of contractor services is generally
consistent with market averages.

We note that following our meetings and discussions of indemnity calculations, the Insured
have confirmed their consent to the above adjsutment.

Therefore, following our review, recoverable costs are RUB 1 769 704 983,07.

FINAL SETTLEMENT
Following our adjustment, we have established that costs incurred by the Insured are
RUB 1 769 704 983,07. Therefore, the amount of indemnity is estimated at
RUB 1 759 704 983,07 net of the policy deductible, as follows:

Costs: RUB 1 769 704 983,07


Policy deductible: (10 000 000,00)
Total indemnity RUB 1 759 704 983,07

We, therefore, complete our adjustment of this claim. Should Underwriters agree to our
recommendations, we believe, the file in respect of this claim may be closed and reserves
canceled following the indemnity payment.

SUBROGATION
Given the investigated causes of the incident, we believe that Insurers do not have an
opportunity to subrogate at this time.
