Berezniki CHP-2 power station is a 50 MW gas power plant in Perm Krai, Russia. It is operated by T Plus PJSC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 56k homes (estimated). It ranks #463 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2007, it is around 19 years old — relatively modern. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 50 MW, Berezniki CHP-2 power station is below the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. 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 subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 59.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
