Overview
KANSK CHP is a 24 MW coal-fired power plant in Russia, operated by JSC Yenisei TGC (TGC-13). It supplies electricity and heat to the local grid.
KANSK CHP is a coal-fired combined heat and power plant located in Kansk, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. With a capacity of 24 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Russian power generation sector, primarily serving local district heating and electricity needs. The plant is owned and operated by JSC Yenisei TGC (TGC-13), a major energy company in Siberia. The plant operates under Russian federal environmental regulations, which set emission limits for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. As a coal-fired facility, it utilizes subcritical technology typical of older Soviet-era plants. The 24 MW capacity places it in the small-scale category, often used for municipal heating rather than large-scale grid supply. KANSK CHP plays a key role in the local energy infrastructure, providing reliable heat and power to the city of Kansk. Its coal fuel source contributes to regional CO2 and pollutant emissions, though its small size limits overall impact. The plant's operational status indicates ongoing service to the community.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion releases CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local air quality concerns. Its location in a populated area of Siberia means emissions may affect nearby communities. The small capacity (24 MW) limits total emissions compared to larger plants, but the use of coal without advanced pollution controls typical of older Russian facilities could result in higher per-MWh emissions.
