Ghatampur power station is a 660 MW coal power station in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is operated by Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 825,942 homes (estimated). It ranks #201 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 2,418,700 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 563,800 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 26.0°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 96% 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: 15/100 — 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.

The #160 largest coal power plant of 395 in India by capacity.
India has 395 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 300,917 MW of capacity.
