Berezniki CHPP-2 is a 127 MW gas power station in Perm, Russia. It is operated by Perm Branch of PJSC "T Plus". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 143,263 homes (estimated). It ranks #260 of 545 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1947, it is around 79 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 45% load factor × a typical gas emission factor (~400 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

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 59.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
The #143 largest gas power plant of 258 in Russia by capacity.
Russia has 258 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 106,722 MW of capacity.
