Coal power plant in West Bengal, India. Approximate location 22.0774, 88.0995.

CoalWest BengalIndiaCO₂ reported

INDIA POWER TPP(HALDIA HIRANMAYE ) is a 300 MW coal power station in West Bengal, India. It is operated by Hiranmaye Energy Ltd. Based on reported annual generation of 73 GWh, it can supply roughly 20,800 homes. It ranks #342 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2017, it is around 9 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 1,796,600 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 418,788 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).

Local climate & thermal context

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 22.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

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.
