Huaneng Taiyuan Dongshan Gas Thermal power station is a 991 MW other power station in Shanxi Sheng, China. It is operated by Huaneng Taiyuan Dongshan Gas Turbine Heat and Power Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 744,324 homes (estimated). It ranks #618 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 1,612,800 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 375,944 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a monsoon hot-summer continental climate (Köppen Dwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 37.9°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 40% 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: 74/100 — 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 #17 largest other power plant of 105 in China by capacity.
China has 105 other power plants in this dataset, together about 61,460 MW of capacity.
