E.ON C.TE LIVORNO FERRARIS is a 804 MW gas power station in Piedmont, Italy. It is operated by EP Produzione Centrale Livorno Ferraris SpA. Based on reported annual generation of 4,386 GWh, it can supply roughly 1.3 million homes. It ranks #41 of 489 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 1,493,925 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 348k cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 47.2% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 804 MW, E.ON C.TE LIVORNO FERRARIS is well above the median gas plant in Italy (324 MW). Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

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 humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 45.2°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 3% 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: 49/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
A gas turbine here also runs ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
