CoalAnhui ShengChinaCO₂ reported

Anhui Xuancheng power station is a 1,320 MW coal power station in Anhui Sheng, China. It is operated by SDIC Huajing Power Holdings Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,651,885 homes (estimated). It ranks #313 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2012, it is around 14 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 5,476,600 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,276,597 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 54.3% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 30.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 28% 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: 39/100 — this site sits in the mid 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.
