Ivanovo TPP-3 is a coal-fired power plant located in Ivanovo, Russia, with a capacity of 330 megawatts. The plant is operated by the Ivanovo branch of PJSC "T Plus" and is currently in operational status. As a coal power plant, it plays a role in the local energy mix, providing baseload power to the region. The plant operates under Russian federal regulations for emissions and environmental protection, which include standards for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The 330 MW capacity places it in the medium-scale range for coal plants in the country. Environmentally, coal power plants have a significant carbon footprint and emit pollutants that can affect local air quality. The plant's location in Ivanovo, a city with a population of over 400,000, means its emissions may impact nearby populated areas. However, the plant provides essential electricity to the region, supporting industrial and residential needs.
Environmental context
Coal power plants like Ivanovo TPP-3 are significant sources of CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, contributing to climate change and local air pollution. The plant's proximity to Ivanovo, a city with a population of over 400,000, means its emissions can affect public health and the environment. The facility operates under Russian environmental regulations, which set limits on pollutant releases, but coal combustion inherently carries higher environmental risks compared to natural gas or renewables.
