CHP-9 is a 275 MW gas power station in Moskovskaya, Russia. It is operated by PJSC "Mosenergo". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 310k homes (estimated). It ranks #264 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1933, it is around 93 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).

At 275 MW, CHP-9 is well above the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). 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 warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 55.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
