Waste power plant in England, United Kingdom. Approximate location 53.6133, -0.186.
WasteEnglandUnited KingdomCO₂ reported
Immingham is a 2 MW waste power plant in England, United Kingdom. It is operated by Waste Recycling Group. Based on reported annual generation of 6,653 GWh, it can supply roughly 1,900,914 homes. It ranks #2278 of 2,751 United Kingdom power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 6,263 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS) are equivalent to about 1,460 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 217 gCO₂/kWh (64.4% low-carbon) (2025).

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 53.6°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 23% 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: 63/100 — 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.
