GTES "Kolomenskoye" is a 135.9 MW gas power station in Moscow, Russia. It is operated by LLC "VTK-invest". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 153k homes (estimated). It ranks #358 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1981, it is around 45 years old — long-established. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 135.9 MW, GTES "Kolomenskoye" is below the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). 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.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

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 warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 55.6°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
