Ivanovskaya CHP-2 power station is a 155 MW coal power station in Ivanovo, Russia. It is operated by T Plus PJSC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 194k homes (estimated). It ranks #345 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1954, it is around 72 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).

At 155 MW, Ivanovskaya CHP-2 power station is below the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. 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 57.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
