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).

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.

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.
