GTES URAL-4000 [GTU Agidel] - 8 MW Gas Power Plant in Russia

GTES URAL-4000 [GTU Agidel] is a gas-fired power plant located in Russia, with coordinates 55.8993° N, 53.9379° E. The facility has a capacity of 8 MW and is classified as a small-scale gas power plant. It is owned and operated by LLC Bashkir distribution heat networks, serving the local energy grid. The plant operates on natural gas, a cleaner fossil fuel compared to coal, resulting in lower emissions of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. In Russia, gas power plants are subject to national emission standards and environmental regulations. The 8 MW capacity places it in the small-scale category, typical for distributed generation or industrial cogeneration. This facility plays a role in supplying electricity to the surrounding region, supporting local industrial and residential demand. Its gas-fired technology aligns with Russia's significant natural gas infrastructure, contributing to grid stability and energy security in the area.

The plant uses natural gas, which produces lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions per MWh compared to coal or oil. Its small capacity (8 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint. Located in a region with moderate population density, the facility's emissions are subject to Russian federal air quality standards. The use of gas turbines allows for efficient operation and lower local air pollution impacts.
