Jinling is a 700 MW gas power station in Jiangsu Sheng, China. It is operated by Huaneng Nanjing Jinling Power Generation Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 788,400 homes (estimated). It ranks #789 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2004, it is around 22 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 7,585,100 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,768,089 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 3.2% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% 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 humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 32.2°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 20% 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: 42/100 — this site sits in the mid 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 ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #83 largest gas power plant of 315 in China by capacity.
China has 315 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 116,718 MW of capacity.
