OilMingacevir CityAzerbaijan
Azerbaijan TPP is a 2,400 MW oil power station in Mingacevir City, Azerbaijan. It is operated by AzerEnerji. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,802,057 homes (estimated). It ranks #1 of 14 Azerbaijan power plants by installed capacity. In context, oil supplies about 0.2% of Azerbaijan's electricity; the national grid averages 632 gCO₂/kWh (12.1% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 30% load factor × a typical oil emission factor (~750 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a cold semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.8°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 20% 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: 42/100 — 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.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
Azerbaijan has 1 oil power plant in this dataset, together about 2,400 MW of capacity.
