GichtNatural Gaskraftwerk Dillingen is a 85 MW other power plant in Saarland, Germany. It is operated by Aktien-Gesellschaft der Dillinger Hüttenwerke ROGESA Roheisengesellschaft Saar mbH und Zentralkokerei Saar GmbH als Bruchteilsgemeinschaft. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 63,822 homes (estimated). It ranks #217 of 1,369 Germany power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2010, it is around 16 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 112,673 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 26,264 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 330 gCO₂/kWh (59.1% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 49.4°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 25% 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: 65/100 — 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.
The #15 largest other power plant of 28 in Germany by capacity.
Germany has 28 other power plants in this dataset, together about 3,166 MW of capacity.
