CoalKrasnoyarskiyRussiasubcritical

NAZAROVO GRES is a 1,373 MW coal power station in Krasnoyarskiy, Russia. It is operated by JSC "Yenisei TGC (TGC-13)". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1.7 million homes (estimated). It ranks #62 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1961, it is around 65 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).

In context: how this plant compares

At 1,373 MW, NAZAROVO GRES is well above the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. 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.

Climate zone & how it works

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 56.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
