CHP-17 is a 192 MW coal power station in Moskovskaya, Russia. It is operated by PJSC "Mosenergo". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 240,274 homes (estimated). It ranks #220 of 545 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1950, it is around 76 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, coal supplies about 18.4% 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 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 54.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
