Svobodny power station is a 610 MW gas power station in Amur Oblast, Russia. It is operated by Svobodnenskaya TPP LLC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 687k homes (estimated). It ranks #125 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2021, it is around 5 years old — recently built. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% 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 160 MW for Svobodny 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 610 MW, Svobodny power station is well above the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). 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 monsoon warm-summer continental climate (Köppen Dwb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 51.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
