Kyzyl TPP is a 17 MW coal power plant in Tyva, Russia. It is operated by JSC "Yenisei TGC (TGC-13)". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 21,274 homes (estimated). It ranks #436 of 545 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1958, it is around 68 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).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

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 51.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
The #91 largest coal power plant of 96 in Russia by capacity.
Russia has 96 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 46,072 MW of capacity.
