CHAKABURA TPP

Coal power plant in Chhattisgarh, India. Approximate location 22.3932, 82.5532.

CoalChhattisgarhIndiaCO₂ reported

CHAKABURA TPP is a 60 MW coal power plant in Chhattisgarh, India. It is operated by ACB (India) Ltd. Based on reported annual generation of 432 GWh, it can supply roughly 123,371 homes. It ranks #678 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2010, it is around 16 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 170,370 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 39,713 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 22.4°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.
