Brestanica (TEB)

Gas power plant in Krsko, Slovenia. Approximate location 45.9975, 15.4796.

GasKrskoSloveniaCO₂ reported

Brestanica (TEB) is a 297 MW gas power station in Krsko, Slovenia. Based on reported annual generation of 10 GWh, it can supply roughly 2,714 homes. It ranks #3 of 8 Slovenia power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 3,929 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS) are equivalent to about 916 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 6.4% of Slovenia's electricity; the national grid averages 183 gCO₂/kWh (78.9% 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 temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 46.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 21% 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: 62/100 — 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).
