It is the largest geothermal power plant in Russia, 60 km south from the administrative center of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka region, on the bank of the Falshivaya River.

[1] The station is located northeast of the Mutnovskaya hill in the southeastern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula at an altitude of about 800 meters above sea level.

[2] In 1974, the Institute of Volcanology of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR estimated the potential capacity of a geothermal station on the basis of the Mutnovsky deposit at 300-400 MW.

In September 1977, the State Planning Committee of the USSR decided to build a 200 MW Mutnovskaya GeoPower plant with the introduction of the first units in 1984–1985.

In 1995, the Ministry of Energy of the RSFSR approved the adjusted project of the Mutnovskaya GeoPP: the block-modular power units of the Kaluga Turbine Plant were selected as the main equipment .

The continuation of the construction of GeoTES was recognized as a priority project for the development of the fuel and energy complex of the Kamchatka Territory.

In order to reduce the costs of transporting the steam-water mixture, it was decided to send steam from several remote from the well construction site to a separate small power plant - the Verkhne-Mutnovskaya GeoPP with a capacity of 12 MW, which was built before the main facility and was put into operation in December 1999.

[11] The potential of the Mutnovsky geothermal field is not exhausted, the possibility of constructing a second phase of the GeoPower with a capacity of 50 MW is considered.
