Guangdong Likeng power station is a 22 MW waste power plant in Guangdong, China. It is operated by Guangzhou City Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Bureau. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 30,284 homes (estimated). It ranks #4275 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 236,030 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 55,019 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 23.3°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 83% 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: 19/100 — 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 #3 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.
