Kondopoga Hydroelectric Power Station is a 26 MW hydro power plant in Republic of Karelia, Russia. It is operated by PJSC "TGC-1". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 26k homes (estimated). It ranks #513 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1929, it is around 97 years old — an older, legacy facility. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, hydro supplies about 16.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 26 MW, Kondopoga Hydroelectric Power Station is below the median hydro plant in Russia (72 MW). Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.
