Yuzhno-Yakutskaya power station is a 330 MW gas power station in Sakha Republic, Russia. It is operated by Gazprom Energoholding LLC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 372k homes (estimated). It ranks #233 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 330 MW, Yuzhno-Yakutskaya power station is well above the median gas plant in Russia (200 MW). Technically it is described as OCGT. 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.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a monsoon subarctic climate (Köppen Dwc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 56.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
