Waste power plant in Scotland, United Kingdom. Approximate location 56.4867, -2.9028.
WasteScotlandUnited KingdomCO₂ reported
Baldovie is a 8 MW waste power plant in Scotland, United Kingdom. It is operated by Dundee Energy Recycling. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 11,425 homes (estimated). It ranks #968 of 2,751 United Kingdom power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 246,946 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS) are equivalent to about 57,563 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 217 gCO₂/kWh (64.4% low-carbon) (2025).

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 56.5°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 43% above 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: 76/100 — this site sits in the top 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.
