Data provenance

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.

In context: how this plant compares

At 368 MW, Yakutsk SDPP is well above the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. Its current lifecycle status is “construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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 severely cold subarctic climate (Köppen Dfd) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 62.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
