Dwarikesh Dham Biomass power station is a 36 MW biomass power plant in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is operated by Dwarikesh Sugar Industries Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 49,556 homes (estimated). It ranks #924 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 1.1% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 28.2°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 93% 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: 16/100 — 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.
