CHP of the Achinsk Alumina Combine (TPP AGK) is a 320 MW coal power station in Krasnoyarskiy, Russia. It is operated by OK Rusal. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 400k homes (estimated). It ranks #239 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1970, it is around 56 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).

At 320 MW, CHP of the Achinsk Alumina Combine (TPP AGK) is around the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 56.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
