EMILE HUCHET is a 995 MW coal power station in Lorraine, France. It is operated by Energetický a průmyslový holding AS. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,245,171 homes (estimated). It ranks #24 of 2,188 France power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 392,890 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 91,583 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 0.3% of France's electricity; the national grid averages 41 gCO₂/kWh (94.9% low-carbon) (2025).

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 49.2°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 27% 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: 66/100 — 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.

The #2 largest coal power plant of 5 in France by capacity.
France has 5 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 3,575 MW of capacity.
