Simferopol CHP power station is a 86 MW gas power plant in Crimea, Ukraine. It is operated by KrymTETs [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 97k homes (estimated). It ranks #64 of 98 Ukraine power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1958, it is around 68 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 86 MW, Simferopol CHP 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.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

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 humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 45.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
