CoalVerified: Feb 2026

Novosibirsk CHPP-4 is a significant coal-fired power generation facility located in Russia, contributing a capacity of 368 MW to the regional energy mix. As a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, it not only generates electricity but also provides heating, which is crucial for the cold climate of Siberia. The geographical coordinates of Novosibirsk CHPP-4, 55.1000 latitude and 82.9900 longitude, place it in the heart of Novosibirsk, the largest city in Siberia, which is a key industrial and cultural center. The plant plays a vital role in ensuring a stable energy supply to both residential and commercial sectors in the region. The reliance on coal as a primary fuel source positions Novosibirsk CHPP-4 within the broader context of Russia's energy policy, where coal remains a significant part of the energy landscape despite global shifts towards cleaner alternatives. As Russia continues to depend on its vast coal reserves, the operational context of CHPP-4 reflects the country’s energy strategy, which balances traditional energy generation with the need for modernization and efficiency improvements. The facility's technology allows for effective cogeneration, maximizing energy output while providing necessary heating to the local community. As environmental concerns grow, the future of Novosibirsk CHPP-4 may involve adaptations to reduce emissions and enhance sustainability, aligning with the global trend towards more environmentally friendly energy practices.
