Gas power plant in South Holland, Netherlands. Approximate location 51.957, 4.0916.
GasSouth HollandNetherlandsCO₂ reported
Enecogen power station is a 870 MW gas power station in South Holland, Netherlands. It is operated by Eneco NV. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 979,868 homes (estimated). It ranks #10 of 106 Netherlands power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 1,024,250 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 238,753 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 34.9% of Netherlands's electricity; the national grid averages 254 gCO₂/kWh (54.2% 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 temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 52.0°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 20% 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: 62/100 — 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).

The #6 largest gas power plant of 23 in Netherlands by capacity.
Netherlands has 23 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 11,162 MW of capacity.
