BUTIBORI TPP -II

Coal power plant in Maharashtra, India. Approximate location 20.9286, 78.9333.

CoalMaharashtraIndiaCO₂ reported

BUTIBORI TPP -II is a 600 MW coal power station in Maharashtra, India. Based on reported annual generation of 2,026 GWh, it can supply roughly 578,942 homes. It ranks #217 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2013, it is around 13 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 251,860 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 58,709 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 20.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 100% 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.
