Overview
TPP-1, a generation facility of Ufimskaya TPP-4, is an operational gas power plant in Russia with a capacity of 77.74 MW, owned by LLC Bashkir Generation Company.
TPP-1 is a gas-fired power generation facility that forms part of the Ufimskaya TPP-4 complex in Russia. Located at coordinates 54.84°N, 56.09°E, the plant operates under the ownership of LLC Bashkir Generation Company. With a capacity of 77.74 MW, it represents a small- to medium-scale gas power plant within the Russian energy sector. The facility utilizes natural gas as its primary fuel, a common choice for power generation in Russia due to abundant domestic gas reserves. The plant operates under Russian federal regulations for emissions and grid connection, which align with national environmental standards. As part of the Ufimskaya TPP-4 complex, TPP-1 contributes to the regional power supply in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Its gas-fired operation results in lower CO2 emissions compared to coal plants, though NOx and other pollutants are still regulated. The facility supports local industrial and residential electricity needs, playing a role in the stability of the regional grid.
Environmental context
The plant's gas-fired operation produces lower carbon emissions than coal-based generation, but still contributes to local air quality concerns through NOx and particulate emissions. Its location near Ufa, a major industrial city, means emissions may affect populated areas. The facility's age and specific emission control technologies are not detailed, but Russian regulations require adherence to ambient air quality standards.
