Hami 1-4 Coal is a 25 MW coal power plant in Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu, China. It is operated by Huadian Power International Company Limited. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 31,285 homes (estimated). It ranks #4068 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1987, it is around 39 years old — long-established. In context, coal supplies about 54.3% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a cold desert climate (Köppen BWk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 42.9°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 49% 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: 79/100 — 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.

The #1373 largest coal power plant of 1434 in China by capacity.
China has 1434 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 1,249,175 MW of capacity.
