Prydniprovska power station is a 1,195 MW coal power station in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. It ranks #23 of 98 Ukraine power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1963, it is around 63 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, coal supplies about 20.9% of Ukraine's electricity; the national grid averages 250 gCO₂/kWh (72.2% low-carbon) (2022).

In context: how this plant compares
At 1,195 MW, Prydniprovska power station is around the median coal plant in Ukraine (1,210 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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.
