Overview
Kemerovo thermal power station is a 80 MW coal-fired power plant in Kemerovo, Russia, operated by Kuzbassenergo. It supplies electricity to the local grid.
Kemerovo thermal power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Kemerovo, Russia. With a capacity of 80 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Russian power generation sector. The plant is owned and operated by Kuzbassenergo, a major energy company in the region. The plant operates under Russian federal environmental regulations, which set emission limits for SOx, NOx, and particulates. As a coal-fired facility, it likely uses subcritical technology typical of older plants in the region. The plant's capacity places it in the small-scale category for coal power plants. The Kemerovo thermal power station plays a role in meeting local electricity demand in the Kemerovo region, an area with significant coal mining and industrial activity. Its operation contributes to the regional energy mix, though coal combustion results in CO2 and other emissions.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion produces CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions. Its location in an industrial area may affect local air quality. The 80 MW capacity suggests a moderate environmental footprint compared to larger plants. Russian regulations require emission controls, but older plants may have less stringent pollution abatement.
