Trypilska is a 1,800 MW coal power station in Kiev, Ukraine. It ranks #15 of 98 Ukraine power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1970, it is around 56 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, coal supplies about 20.9% of Ukraine's electricity; the national grid averages 250 gCO₂/kWh (72.2% low-carbon) (2022).

The public capacity above is the current source-record value. A 2026 tracker candidate lists 1,225 MW for Trypilska 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/or fuel fields on this page include a source-backed provenance label from GEM, an official registry, Wikidata, OSM, or a cross-source match.

At 1,800 MW, Trypilska is well above the median coal plant in Ukraine (1,210 MW). Technically it is described as Steam; subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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.
