BARAMURA

Gas power plant in Tripura, India. Approximate location 23.807, 91.565.

GasTripuraIndiaCO₂ reported

BARAMURA is a 42 MW gas power plant in Tripura, India. Based on reported annual generation of 174 GWh, it can supply roughly 49,628 homes. It ranks #860 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2006, it is around 20 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 63,238 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 14,741 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 humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 23.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 99% 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).
