Landivisiau power station is a 446 MW gas power station in Brittany, France. It is operated by Compagnie Electrique de Bretagne SAS. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 502,323 homes (estimated). It ranks #37 of 2,188 France power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 252,810 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 58,930 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 3.0% of France's electricity; the national grid averages 41 gCO₂/kWh (94.9% 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 temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 48.5°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 11% 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: 55/100 — 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 #5 largest gas power plant of 21 in France by capacity.
France has 21 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 6,170 MW of capacity.
