Murmansk TEZ is a 12 MW oil power plant in Murmansk, Russia. It is operated by PJSC "TGC-1". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 9.0k homes (estimated). It ranks #604 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1934, it is around 92 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, oil supplies about 1.2% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).
