Auguette power station is a 106 MW gas power station in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 119,836 homes (estimated). It ranks #94 of 2,188 France power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 96,502 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 22,495 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 3.0% of France's electricity; the national grid averages 41 gCO₂/kWh (94.9% low-carbon) (2025).

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 43.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 37% 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: 35/100 — 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #12 largest gas power plant of 21 in France by capacity.
France has 21 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 6,170 MW of capacity.
