Yumaguzinskaya HPP is a 45 MW hydro power plant in Bashkortostan, Russia. It is operated by LLC "Bashkir Generation Company". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 45k homes (estimated). It ranks #475 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2004, it is around 22 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, hydro supplies about 16.7% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 45 MW, Yumaguzinskaya HPP is below the median hydro plant in Russia (72 MW). Technically it is described as conventional storage. Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.
