This geothermal plant taps underground heat to raise steam that drives a turbine. It sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 51.5°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 #2 largest geothermal power plant of 3 in Russia by capacity.
Russia has 3 geothermal power plants in this dataset, together about 74 MW of capacity.
