Perevolotskaya SES is a 5 MW solar power plant in Orenburg, Russia. It is operated by LLC "Avelar SolarStekhnolodzhi". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2.1k homes (estimated). It ranks #654 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2015, it is around 11 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, solar supplies about 0.2% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).
