Energy generation
Tomsk has the oldest electrical grid in Siberia. There are three power stations in the city:
1. TEC-1 (launched on January 1, 1896)
2. GRES-2 (launched on May 28, 1945)
3. TEC-3 (launched on October 29, 1988)
Tomsk consumes more electric energy than it produces. The bulk of the city's electric and thermal energy is produced by the GRES-2 (281 MWt) and TEC-3 (140 MWt) power plants, belonging to Tomskenergo Inc. Tomsk supplements its energy needs with electricity generated at Seversk
