Emirates Aluminum Smelter Complex power station is a 3,440 MW other power station in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is operated by Emirates Global Aluminium PJSC. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2,582,948 homes (estimated). It ranks #2 of 52 United Arab Emirates power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 5,314,800 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,238,881 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 468 gCO₂/kWh (31.7% low-carbon) (2024).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 24.8°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 100% 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: 13/100 — 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.
