Gas power plant in Kansas, United States of America. Approximate location 37.2367, -96.9625.
GasKansasUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported
East 12th Street is a 28 MW gas power plant in Kansas, United States of America. It is operated by City of Winfield - (KS). Based on reported annual generation of 11 GWh, it can supply roughly 3,028 homes. It ranks #3348 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1971, it is around 55 years old — an older, legacy facility. Its measured emissions of 3,686 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 859 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 40.0% of United States of America's electricity; the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

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 37.2°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 9% 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: 47/100 — 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.
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.
The #1237 largest gas power plant of 1818 in United States of America by capacity.
United States of America has 1818 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 546,436 MW of capacity.
