Vladmir Branch is a 596 MW gas power station in Vladimir, Russia. It is operated by Vladimir Branch of PJSC "T Plus". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 671k homes (estimated). It ranks #132 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1962, it is around 64 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, gas supplies about 44.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 596 MW, Vladmir Branch is well above 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 56.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
