CHP-1 of the Solombala PPM is a 36 MW biomass power plant in Arkhangelskaya, Russia. It is operated by OJSC "Solombalsky pulp and paper mill". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 50k homes (estimated). It ranks #486 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 0.1% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Biomass plants burn organic material such as wood, residues or waste-derived fuel to raise steam; they are dispatchable and counted as low-carbon where the feedstock is sustainably sourced.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 64.6°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 #3 largest biomass power plant of 3 in Russia by capacity.
Russia has 3 biomass power plants in this dataset, together about 580 MW of capacity.
