Russia — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 1,725 energy assets in Russia across 14 layers — the 5th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 461 power plants, 358 pipelines and 338 oil & gas fields. Operating generation capacity is 231 GW, led by gas at 50%. Refining capacity is about 3,631 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Gazprom PJSC (248), Transneft (73) and small shareholder(s) (52), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Russia's mapped assets in service predate 1986 (median commissioning year of the 1,060 with a known date), 182 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Ashinskiy Metallurgical plant, dating from 1900. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Krasnoyarsk nuclear power plant (5.0 GW).
