GT Thermal Power Station Kasimovskaya - 18 MW Gas Power Plant in Russia

GT Thermal Power Station Kasimovskaya is a gas-fired power generation facility located in Russia, with coordinates 54.9558° N, 41.4080° E. The plant has an installed capacity of 18 megawatts and is currently operational, contributing to the regional power supply. The facility operates on natural gas, a cleaner fossil fuel compared to coal, and uses gas turbine technology typical for smaller-scale power plants. In Russia, gas-fired plants are common due to abundant domestic gas reserves, and they often serve local or industrial loads. The plant's capacity of 18 MW places it in the small-scale category for power generation. As a gas-fired plant, GT Thermal Power Station Kasimovskaya produces lower emissions per megawatt-hour than coal-fired alternatives, though it still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Its operation supports grid stability and provides electricity to nearby communities and industries. The plant is owned by JSC GTEnergo, a Russian energy company.

The plant uses natural gas, which emits less CO2, SOx, and NOx per unit of electricity than coal or oil. Its small capacity (18 MW) limits overall emissions. The facility's location in a rural area of Russia reduces direct exposure to dense populations. However, as a fossil fuel plant, it contributes to regional air quality impacts and greenhouse gas emissions. Russia's regulatory framework for emissions includes national standards, though enforcement varies.
