Demidovskaya power station is a 660 MW coal power station in Sverdlovsk, Russia. It is operated by Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company OJSC [50%]; Inter RAO PJSC [50%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 826k homes (estimated). It ranks #119 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. In context, coal supplies about 18.4% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 660 MW, Demidovskaya power station is well above the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). Its current lifecycle status is “Shelved” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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 warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 57.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
