Overview
Diesel power station №2 of JSC Salekhardenergo is a 12.5 MW oil-fired diesel power plant located in Salekhard, Russia. It is operational and serves the local energy grid.
Diesel power station №2 of JSC Salekhardenergo is an operational diesel power plant located in Salekhard, Russia. With a capacity of 12.5 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Russian power generation sector, primarily serving the local area. The plant uses oil as its primary fuel, typical for diesel power plants in remote regions. It operates under Russian federal regulations for emissions and energy production, which include standards for air pollutants and fuel efficiency. The facility's technology is based on diesel generators, which are common for decentralized power supply in northern Russia. This plant plays a role in providing electricity to Salekhard, a city in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Its operation supports local energy security, especially in a region where extreme weather conditions can challenge grid reliability. The facility is owned and operated by Salekhardenergo JSC.
Environmental context
The diesel power station uses oil as fuel, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions typical for such facilities. Located in Salekhard, a populated area in the Russian Arctic, the plant's emissions may affect local air quality. Its small capacity (12.5 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint compared to larger plants, but the use of diesel generators implies lower efficiency and higher per-MWh emissions than modern combined-cycle gas turbines.
