Background on Plant

The station powers and provides heat to the the Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works, but also supplies heat to the residential sector in Magnitogorsk.

The plant has 6 turbine units and 9 boiler units. Some of the boilers are designed to run on natural gas as well as coal.

Information on the plant is very limited. Another source refers to capacity of the plant at 355MW (as of November 2022). It appears that capacity has increased in 2019 following the commissioning of a 50MW gas turbine, which has increased the plant's capacity by 25MW.

In January 2022, local residents reported heavy smoke coming from the plant, although it was confirmed that there were no accidents.
