The aim of this research paper is a complex assessment of the efficiency of power plants in Russia, the basis of their techno-economic processes and indicators and the development of recommendations for their practical use and improvement. Capital expenses for SWH plants with a drain-down system are 1,4-1,6 times lower than traditional SWHs with circulation systems, and their payback period does not exceed 5-5,7 years. Biogas that is obtained from specialized plants of medium and high-power costs 15,000-60,000 per cubic meter. But the price of biogas produced in low energy power plants is about 80,000-270,000, which is cheaper than natural gas. So, the use of biogas is economically justified at the moment.
