Ivanovo TPP-3 is a 330 MW coal power station in Ivanovo, Russia. It is operated by Ivanovo branch of PJSC "T Plus". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 413k homes (estimated). It ranks #230 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1974, it is around 52 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).

In context: how this plant compares
At 330 MW, Ivanovo TPP-3 is around the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. 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.

Climate zone & how it works
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 57.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
