Oil power plant in Fergana, Uzbekistan. Approximate location 40.449, 71.782.
OilFerganaUzbekistan
Fergana is a 300 MW oil power station in Fergana, Uzbekistan. It is operated by Uzbekenergo. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 225,257 homes (estimated). It ranks #9 of 16 Uzbekistan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1956, it is around 70 years old — an older, legacy facility. In context, oil supplies about 1.7% of Uzbekistan's electricity; the national grid averages 1,000 gCO₂/kWh (19.4% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 30% load factor × a typical oil emission factor (~750 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a cold semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.4°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 2% 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: 49/100 — 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.
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.
Uzbekistan has 1 oil power plant in this dataset, together about 300 MW of capacity.
