ISAB ENERGY is a 521 MW gas power station in Sicily, Italy. It is operated by ISAB Energy SRL. Based on reported annual generation of 2,556 GWh, it can supply roughly 730,428 homes. It ranks #52 of 441 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1998, it is around 28 years old — long-established. Its measured emissions of 997,420 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 232,499 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 47.2% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 37.1°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 63% 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: 25/100 — 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~2% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
The #32 largest gas power plant of 64 in Italy by capacity.
Italy has 64 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 39,931 MW of capacity.
