Helmond power station

Other power plant in North Brabant, Netherlands. Approximate location 51.4737, 5.5832.

OtherNorth BrabantNetherlandsCO₂ reported

Helmond power station is a 50 MW other power plant in North Brabant, Netherlands. It is operated by Ennatuurlijk BV. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 37,242 homes (estimated). It ranks #49 of 106 Netherlands power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 56,300 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 13,124 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 254 gCO₂/kWh (54.2% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 51.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 20% 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: 61/100 — 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.
