HF Sinclair Puget Sound Refining is a 140 MW gas power station in Washington, United States. It is operated by HF Sinclair Corp. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 157,454 homes (estimated). It ranks #29 of 263 United States power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 203,140 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 47,352 cars driven for a year.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 48.5°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 10% 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: 55/100 — 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #27 largest gas power plant of 125 in United States by capacity.
United States has 125 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 19,886 MW of capacity.
