Kharkiv TEC-5 (Ukrainian: Харківська ТЕЦ-5) is a combined heat and power plant (CHP) near Podvirky village in Kharkiv Raion of Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. It is the second largest CHP plant in Ukraine.[2] It has a capacity of 540 MW of electric power[3] and up to 1,650 MW of heat power. It has a 330-meter (1,080 ft) tall chimney, built in 1979. There are also two 81-meter (266 ft) tall cooling towers. The plant was severely damaged during the 22 March 2024 Russian attack, knocking it offline and requires restoration work that will likely run into 2025."[1]

The power plant is owned and operated by JSC Kharkiv CHPP-5 (Ukrainian: Харківська ТЕЦ-5), a subsidiary of Naftogaz Ukrainy.[citation needed]
