Buribaevskaya SES is a 10 MW solar power plant in Bashkortostan, Russia. It is operated by LLC "Avelar SolarStekhnolodzhi". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 4.3k homes (estimated). It ranks #619 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2016, it is around 10 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, solar supplies about 0.2% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 10 MW, Buribaevskaya SES is below the median solar plant in Russia (15 MW). Solar PV converts sunlight directly into electricity with no moving parts or fuel; output varies by time of day and weather, so it pairs with storage or flexible backup.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
