Gas power plant in Indiana, United States of America. Approximate location 39.9026, -86.2441.
GasIndianaUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported
Georgetown is a 340 MW gas power station in Indiana, United States of America. It is operated by Indianapolis Power & Light Co. Based on reported annual generation of 54 GWh, it can supply roughly 15,457 homes. It ranks #897 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2000, it is around 26 years old — long-established. Its measured emissions of 226,228 t CO₂/yr (US EPA GHGRP) are equivalent to about 52,734 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 40.0% of United States of America's electricity; the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% 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 humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 39.9°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 19% 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: 61/100 — 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).
