Colleferro is a 18 MW solar power plant in Latium, Italy. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 7,743 homes (estimated). It ranks #227 of 441 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 29,208 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS) are equivalent to about 6,808 cars driven for a year. In context, solar supplies about 16.9% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

This solar plant converts sunlight directly into electricity with photovoltaic panels. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 41.8°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 23% 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: 41/100 — 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.
Solar PV loses ~0.35%/°C above 25°C cell temperature — roughly 0.0% at warm-season highs here (estimate).
