Sovetskaya Gavan power station is a 366 MW coal power station in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. It is operated by Far Eastern Generating Company JSC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 458k homes (estimated). It ranks #216 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2020, it is around 6 years old — recently built. In context, coal supplies about 18.4% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

The public capacity above is the current source-record value. A 2026 tracker candidate lists 126 MW for Sovetskaya Gavan power station, but it is not used as the public primary value until scope is verified (unit vs operating vs installed/project total).
The capacity and fuel fields on this page are source-record values from the upstream open dataset. They are useful for identification and ranking, but they have not been upgraded to a 2026 registry/GEM-location verified value.

At 366 MW, Sovetskaya Gavan power station is around the median coal plant in Russia (340 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. 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.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 48.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
