Kizelovskaya GRES-3 is a 24 MW coal power plant in Perm, Russia. It is operated by Perm Branch of PJSC "T Plus". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 30k homes (estimated). It ranks #530 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1924, it is around 102 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 24 MW, Kizelovskaya GRES-3 is below the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). 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 subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 58.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
