Kumertauskaya TPP is a 120 MW gas power station in Bashkortostan, Russia. It is operated by OJSC "Sverdlovsk Energy and Gas Company" (JSC "SEGK"). Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 135k homes (estimated). It ranks #371 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1954, it is around 72 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 120 MW, Kumertauskaya TPP is below the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. 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.

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 52.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
