Overview
Serovskaya GRES is a 808 MW coal power plant in Russia, operated by PJSC OGK-2. It supplies electricity to the Sverdlovsk region and the Ural grid.
Serovskaya GRES is a coal-fired power plant located in Serov, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. With a capacity of 808 MW, it is a medium-to-large scale facility within the Russian power generation sector. The plant is owned and operated by PJSC OGK-2, one of Russia's major wholesale generating companies. The plant utilizes coal as its primary fuel, a common choice in Russia's energy mix due to abundant domestic coal reserves. The facility likely operates under Russian federal emission standards, which set limits for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Many Russian coal plants of this era use subcritical or supercritical steam cycles. Serovskaya GRES plays a key role in supplying electricity to the Ural region, supporting industrial and residential demand. Its location in a populated area necessitates compliance with environmental regulations to mitigate local air quality impacts. The plant contributes to grid stability and regional energy security.
Environmental context
As a coal-fired plant, Serovskaya GRES emits CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local and regional air pollution. Its location in the Ural region, which has industrial activity, may compound environmental pressures. The plant's age and technology (likely subcritical) affect its efficiency and emission intensity. Proximity to populated areas requires adherence to Russian air quality standards.
