Arctic LNG 2 Terminal power station is a 1,500 MW gas power station in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. It is operated by Arctic LNG 2 LLC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1.7 million homes (estimated). It ranks #53 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2025, it is around 1 years old — recently built. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

The public capacity above is the current source-record value. A 2026 tracker candidate lists 1,000 MW for Arctic LNG 2 Terminal power station, but it is not used as the public primary value until scope is verified (unit vs operating vs installed/project total).
The capacity and fuel fields on this page are source-record values from the upstream open dataset. They are useful for identification and ranking, but they have not been upgraded to a 2026 registry/GEM-location verified value.

At 1,500 MW, Arctic LNG 2 Terminal power station is well above the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a polar tundra climate (Köppen ET) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 71.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
