KALBA

KALBA is a 109 MW other power station in Al Fujayrah, United Arab Emirates. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 81,843 homes (estimated). It ranks #46 of 52 United Arab Emirates power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 304,950 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 71,084 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 468 gCO₂/kWh (31.7% low-carbon) (2024).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 25.1°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 100% 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: 13/100 — 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.
