GasWisconsinUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported

Georgia-Pacific Corp - Nekoosa Mill is a 39 MW gas power plant in Wisconsin, United States of America. It is operated by Domtar Industries Inc. Based on reported annual generation of 188 GWh, it can supply roughly 53,685 homes. It ranks #3043 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1967, it is around 59 years old — an older, legacy facility. Its measured emissions of 36,535 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 8,516 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).

Local climate & thermal context

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 44.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 75% 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: 88/100 — this site sits in the top 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).
