IOCL Panipat cogeneration power plant is a 110 MW gas power station in Haryana, India. It is operated by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 124k homes (estimated). It ranks #827 of 2,225 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2001, it is around 25 years old — relatively modern. In context, gas supplies about 2.3% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 110 MW, IOCL Panipat cogeneration power plant is below the median gas plant in India (234.3 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Climate zone & how it works
This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 29.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
How it compares & nearby plants
The #85 largest gas power plant of 117 in India by capacity.
India has 117 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 43,650 MW of capacity.
