Zmiivska power station is a 2,200 MW coal power station in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It ranks #10 of 98 Ukraine power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1965, it is around 61 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, coal supplies about 20.9% of Ukraine's electricity; the national grid averages 250 gCO₂/kWh (72.2% low-carbon) (2022).

At 2,200 MW, Zmiivska power station is well above the median coal plant in Ukraine (1,210 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
