Crimean nuclear power plant is a 3,800 MW nuclear power station in , Ukraine. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 8.6 million homes (estimated). It ranks #4 of 98 Ukraine power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, nuclear supplies about 55.8% of Ukraine's electricity; the national grid averages 250 gCO₂/kWh (72.2% low-carbon) (2022).

At 3,800 MW, Crimean nuclear power plant is well above the median nuclear plant in Ukraine (3,000 MW). Nuclear plants split uranium to raise steam with no direct CO₂; they run as steady baseload with very high capacity factors and the longest operating lifetimes of any thermal plant.
