Inner Mongolia Xingan power station is a 680 MW coal power station in Inner Mongolia, China. It is operated by Inner Mongolia Energy Generation & Investment Group (IMPC). Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 850,971 homes (estimated). It ranks #888 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2016, it is around 10 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 2,777,900 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 647,529 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 54.3% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a monsoon hot-summer continental climate (Köppen Dwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 46.1°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 110% 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: 95/100 — 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 #666 largest coal power plant of 1434 in China by capacity.
China has 1434 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 1,249,175 MW of capacity.
