TPP of OAO NPK Uralvagonzavod - 100 MW Gas Power Plant in Nizhny Tagil, Russia

TPP of OAO NPK "Uralvagonzavod" is a gas-fired power plant with a capacity of 100 MW, located in Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. The plant is owned and operated by OAO NPK "Uralvagonzavod", a major Russian industrial holding, and supplies electricity and heat to the company's manufacturing facilities. The plant operates on natural gas, a relatively cleaner fossil fuel compared to coal, and is subject to Russian Federation environmental regulations, including emission limits for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The 100 MW capacity places it in the medium-scale range for gas power plants in Russia, which often serve industrial or district heating needs. As a combined heat and power (CHP) facility, it plays a key role in supporting the local industrial base, providing reliable energy for Uralvagonzavod's defense and machinery production. Its location in an industrial area minimizes proximity to dense residential zones, reducing local air quality impacts.

The plant's gas-fired technology results in lower CO2 emissions per MWh compared to coal plants, but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Its location in an industrial area of Nizhny Tagil, a city with significant heavy industry, means local air quality is influenced by multiple sources. The plant's age and specific emission controls are not detailed, but Russian regulations require adherence to ambient air quality standards.
