Coal power plant in Haryana, India. Approximate location 28.4851, 76.3732.

CoalHaryanaIndiaCO₂ reported

Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Project is a 1,500 MW coal power station in Haryana, India. It is operated by Aravali Power Company Pvt Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,877,142 homes (estimated). It ranks #63 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 8,303,800 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,935,618 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 hot semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 28.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 88% 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: 18/100 — 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.
