Voronezhskaya CHPP-2 is a 127 MW gas-fired power plant located in Russia, operated by PJSC "Quadra - Power Generation" since its commissioning in 1957. The facility generates electricity using natural gas, contributing to Russia's energy mix. This plant is ranked as the 177th largest gas facility in Russia. With a capacity of 127 MW, it accounts for 0.09% of the country's total gas capacity of 139,541 MW. Russia has 299 gas plants with a combined capacity of 139,541 MW. Compared to the largest gas plant, Surgutskaya GRES-2 at 8,865 MW, Voronezhskaya CHPP-2 is approximately 1.43% the size. Natural gas is a significant component of Russia's energy production, providing about 50% of the country's electricity generation. The country's vast reserves and infrastructure support extensive gas-fired generation. The plant is located approximately 500 km southeast of Moscow in the Voronezh Oblast.

Gas power generation is a significant component of the global energy landscape, characterized by the use of natural gas to produce electricity. This process typically involves either gas turbines or combined cycle gas plants. In a gas turbine, compressed air is mixed with natural gas and ignited, producing high-temperature exhaust gases that spin a turbine connected to a generator. Combined cycle plants enhance efficiency by utilizing both gas and steam turbines. After the gas turbine generates electricity, the waste heat is used to produce steam, which drives a steam turbine, thereby maximizing energy extraction from the fuel.
