AGARTALA GT

Gas power plant in Tripura, India. Approximate location 23.8712, 91.3602.

GasTripuraIndiaCO₂ reported

AGARTALA GT is a 135 MW gas power station in Tripura, India. It is operated by North Eastern Electric Power Corp Ltd. Based on reported annual generation of 626 GWh, it can supply roughly 178,914 homes. It ranks #465 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2004, it is around 22 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 256,170 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 59,713 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 2.3% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 23.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 100% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 13/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.

A gas turbine here also runs ~7% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
