Overview
Dubrovskaya TPP-8 is a 92 MW gas-fired power plant in Russia, operated by OOO "DUBROVSKAYA HEAT STATION". It contributes to the regional power grid with natural gas generation.
Dubrovskaya TPP-8 is a gas-fired power plant located in Russia, with coordinates 59.8686° N, 30.9789° E. The facility has a capacity of 92 MW and is currently operational, owned by OOO "DUBROVSKAYA HEAT STATION". As a gas power plant, it plays a role in the country's energy mix, which includes significant natural gas resources. The plant operates under Russian Federation regulations for power generation, including emission standards for SOx, NOx, and CO2. Gas-fired plants like Dubrovskaya TPP-8 typically use combined cycle or simple cycle technology, with efficiency depending on the specific configuration. The 92 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale range for gas plants in Russia. Dubrovskaya TPP-8 provides electricity to the local grid, supporting industrial and residential demand. Its use of natural gas results in lower emissions compared to coal-fired plants, aligning with broader environmental goals. The facility's operational status ensures continued contribution to regional energy security.
Environmental context
The plant's gas fuel type results in lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions per MWh compared to coal or oil. Its location in Russia, a country with vast natural gas reserves, means the plant benefits from a relatively cleaner fossil fuel supply. Proximity to populated areas may influence local air quality, but gas plants generally have a smaller environmental footprint than other thermal plants.
