Turgoiak TEC is a 50 MW gas power plant in Chelyabinsk, Russia. It is operated by JSC "Miass Machine Building Plant" (JSC "MMZ"). Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 56k homes (estimated). It ranks #462 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 50 MW, Turgoiak TEC is below the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). 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 55.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
