Severodonetsk CHP power station — Ukraine

Severodonetsk CHP power station is a 150 MW gas power station in Luhansk, Ukraine. It ranks #58 of 98 Ukraine power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1963, it is around 63 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, gas supplies about 6.4% of Ukraine's electricity; the national grid averages 250 gCO₂/kWh (72.2% low-carbon) (2022).

In context: how this plant compares

At 150 MW, Severodonetsk CHP power station is below the median gas plant in Ukraine (250 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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.
