Coal power plant in Rajasthan, India. Approximate location 24.5295, 76.0986.

CoalRajasthanIndiaCO₂ reported

KALISINDH is a 1,200 MW coal power station in Rajasthan, India. It is operated by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. Based on reported annual generation of 5,181 GWh, it can supply roughly 1,480,171 homes. It ranks #110 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2014, it is around 12 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 6,826,800 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,591,329 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 24.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

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.
