CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Ownership Tree

Background
The station powers and provides heat to the Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works[9], but also supplies heat to the residential sector in Magnitogorsk.[10] Officially called the "Steam-blowing station No. 2", this type of power plant provides blast furnaces with the steam as well as provides thermal and electrical energy to the shops of the metallurgical plant. The station uses about a quarter of the electricity for its own needs, and supplies the rest to the energy system of the plant.[11]
The plant has 6 turbine units and 9 boiler units.[12] The plant's capacity is 300 MW consisting of six 50 MW units.[2]
In January 2022, local residents reported heavy smoke coming from the plant, although it was confirmed that there were no accidents.[13]
Conversion to Gas
In the past, the plant was dual-fuelled, with some of the boilers designed to run on natural gas as well as coal.[14][15] In February 2023, the Program of development of electric power systems in the Chelyabinsk region for 2023-2028 stated that the plant is only gas-fired.[16] It was therefore assumed that a full conversion to gas has taken place by 2023, possibly earlier. Gas as the only fuel was confirmed in the 2025-2030 planning documents of the Russian System Operator.[17]
