Novgorod CHPP is a 190 MW coal power station in Novgorod, Russia. It is operated by PJSC "TGC-2". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 238k homes (estimated). It ranks #314 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1968, it is around 58 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).

At 190 MW, Novgorod CHPP is below the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). 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.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 58.6°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
