At 265 MW, Omsk CHP-6 power station 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 55.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
