Overview
Bogoslovskaya TPP is a 141 MW coal-fired power plant in Russia, operated by OK Rusal. It supplies electricity and heat to industrial and residential consumers in the Sverdlovsk region.
Bogoslovskaya TPP is a coal-fired power plant located in the Sverdlovsk region of Russia, near the city of Krasnoturyinsk. With a capacity of 141 MW, it is a medium-sized facility within the Russian power generation sector. The plant is owned and operated by OK Rusal, a major aluminum producer, and plays a key role in supplying energy to the company's industrial operations as well as the local grid. The plant operates under Russia's federal environmental regulations, which set emission limits for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. As a coal-fired facility, it uses pulverized coal combustion technology, typical for plants of its era. The capacity factor and specific emission controls are not publicly detailed, but the plant is subject to national standards for industrial emissions. Bogoslovskaya TPP provides both electricity and district heating to the surrounding community, making it an important part of local infrastructure. Its proximity to residential areas necessitates effective emission management. The plant's integration with aluminum production highlights its role in supporting heavy industry in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion generates CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions, contributing to local air quality concerns. Its location in the Ural region, with cold winters, increases heating demand, but also affects pollutant dispersion. The facility's age and technology (likely subcritical) may result in lower efficiency and higher emissions per MWh compared to modern plants. Proximity to populated areas requires adherence to ambient air quality standards.
