Hasdeo Thermal Power Station is a 1,340 MW coal power station in Chhattisgarh, India. It is operated by Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,676,914 homes (estimated). It ranks #83 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 7,982,700 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,860,769 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 tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 22.4°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 100% 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: 13/100 — 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 #71 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.
