Data provenance

The capacity and fuel fields on this page are source-record values from the upstream open dataset. They are useful for identification and ranking, but they have not been upgraded to a 2026 registry/GEM-location verified value.

In context: how this plant compares

At 34 MW, Egvenkinotskaya TPP is below 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.

Climate zone & how it works

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a polar tundra climate (Köppen ET) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 66.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
