The Balti power plant is one of the largest oil shale-fired power plants in the world.

The plant was built in 1959–1965. It is located in north-eastern Estonia, 5 km far from Narva, and is currently operating within the framework of the united energy system of the Baltic States.

The construction of the electric power plant was carried out in four stages. In the course of the first, second and third stage, 18 boiler units of 53 kg/s in output, eight 100 MW turbine units and two 12 MW back-pressure turbines meeting the demand of Narva enterprises for steam were installed. The fourth stage of the power plant comprises four units housing 78 kg/s boilers and 200 MW turbine units each.

The power plant is the sole source of thermal power for the district heating system supplying 74 thousand residents of Narva with heat. It also supplies all the local industrial enterprises with process steam. The Balti power plant was designed by Leningrad Department of Teploenergoproekt Institute. The construction works were undertaken both by the Baltic State Power Plant Construction Department subordinate to the Sevenergostroi group of construction companies controlled by the USSR Ministry of Energy and Electrification and relevant subcontractors.
