Shostkinska power station is a 114 MW gas power station in Sumy, Ukraine. It is operated by Shp Kharkivenerhoremont LLC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 128k homes (estimated). It ranks #62 of 98 Ukraine power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1962, it is around 64 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 114 MW, Shostkinska power station is below the median gas plant in Ukraine (250 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. 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 51.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
