Guangdong Conghua power station is a 124 MW waste power station in Guangdong, China. It is operated by Guangzhou Yongxing Environmental Protection Energy Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 170,694 homes (estimated). It ranks #1757 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 1,153,840 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 268,960 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 23.6°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 82% 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: 20/100 — 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 #1 largest waste power plant of 3 in China by capacity.
China has 3 waste power plants in this dataset, together about 206 MW of capacity.
