Coal power plant in Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland. Approximate location 52.7664, 18.1098.

CoalKujawsko-PomorskiePolandCO₂ reported

EC Janikosoda is a 56 MW coal power plant in Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland. It is operated by CIECH Soda Polska. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 70,080 homes (estimated). It ranks #80 of 197 Poland power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 65,317 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS) are equivalent to about 15,225 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 50.4% of Poland's electricity; the national grid averages 589 gCO₂/kWh (31.5% 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 temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 52.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 42% above 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: 75/100 — this site sits in the top 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.
