Linz Süd power station is a 170 MW other power station in Upper Austria, Austria. It is operated by Linz Strom Gas Wärme GmbH. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 127,720 homes (estimated). It ranks #26 of 118 Austria power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 175,740 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 40,965 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 117 gCO₂/kWh (83.6% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 48.3°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 37% 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: 73/100 — this site sits in the top 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.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
The #3 largest other power plant of 7 in Austria by capacity.
Austria has 7 other power plants in this dataset, together about 1,856 MW of capacity.
