Gas power plant in Perm, Russia. Approximate location 57.925, 56.1472.

GasPermRussiaCCGT · HRSG

Permskaya CHPP-9 is a 575 MW gas power station in Perm, Russia. It is operated by Perm Branch of PJSC "T Plus". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 648k homes (estimated). It ranks #137 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1957, it is around 69 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Capacity provenance

The public capacity above is the current source-record value. A 2026 tracker candidate lists 465 MW for Perm CHP-9 power station, but it is not used as the public primary value until scope is verified (unit vs operating vs installed/project total).

Capacity claim grade: B_SCOPE_PARENT_COMPLEX - recommended action: build_parent_complex_model - confidence: not_comparable_without_scope. This follows a claim-based data model: value + scope + source + confidence, rather than silently overwriting records.

Data provenance

The capacity and fuel fields on this page are source-record values from the upstream open dataset. They are useful for identification and ranking, but they have not been upgraded to a 2026 registry/GEM-location verified value.

In context: how this plant compares

At 575 MW, Permskaya CHPP-9 is well above the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

Climate zone & how it works

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 57.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
