Overview
Barabinskaya TPP is a 114 MW coal power plant in Russia, operated by JSC "Sibeco". It supplies electricity to the Novosibirsk region.
Barabinskaya TPP is a coal-fired power plant located in Russia, with a capacity of 114 MW. The facility is owned and operated by JSC "Sibeco" and is currently operational, serving the energy needs of the Novosibirsk region. As a coal power plant, Barabinskaya TPP operates under Russian federal environmental regulations, including emission standards for SOx, NOx, and particulates. The plant's subcritical technology is typical for older coal units in Russia, with efficiency and emission profiles that reflect its age and design. The plant plays a role in the regional power grid, providing baseload electricity. Its location in Siberia, a region with significant coal reserves, aligns with the local energy mix. The facility's capacity of 114 MW places it in the small-to-medium scale for coal plants in Russia.
Environmental context
Coal combustion at Barabinskaya TPP produces CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions. The plant's age and subcritical technology may result in higher emission intensities compared to modern supercritical or CCGT units. Proximity to populated areas could influence local air quality, though specific impacts depend on stack height and dispersion conditions. Russian emission standards apply, with potential for future modernization to reduce environmental footprint.
