CompareView on Map

The Simferopol TPP is a key infrastructure asset in Ukraine's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 100 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the КрымТЭЦ, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 1958, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Ukraine, Simferopol TPP occupies the #14 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 100 MW capacity represents a 0.97% share of Ukraine's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 10,285 MW. The largest operational gas installation in Ukraine is the Zaporizhzhia TPP with an output of 3,650 MW, making the Simferopol TPP approximately 36.5 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0778% of Ukraine's aggregate generation capacity of 128,524 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 350,400 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Ukraine consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 116,800 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 45.0126° latitude and 34.0362° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Tavricheskaya TPS (coal-fired, 470 MW), the Tavrida Thermal Power Plant (gas-fired, 470 MW), the Perovo Solar Park (solar, 105.56 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Ukraine.
