Vostochnaya Petrochemical power station is a 520 MW gas power station in Primorsky Krai, Russia. It is operated by Vostochnaya Petrochemical Company JSC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 586k homes (estimated). It ranks #150 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).

In context: how this plant compares
At 520 MW, Vostochnaya Petrochemical 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.

Climate zone & how it works
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 42.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
