Karaman power station is a 40 MW biomass power plant in Karaman, Turkey. It is operated by Oltan Ve Koleoglu Elektrik Ve Enerji Uretimi Ticaret AŞ. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 55,062 homes (estimated). It ranks #152 of 278 Turkey power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 2.4% of Turkey's electricity; the national grid averages 475 gCO₂/kWh (43.3% low-carbon) (2025).

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 37.3°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 16% above 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: 58/100 — 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.
