Mandrella Biomass power station is a 15 MW biomass power plant in Rajasthan, India. It is operated by SAEL Industries Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 21k homes (estimated). It ranks #1723 of 2,225 India power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 1.1% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 15 MW, Mandrella Biomass power station is below the median biomass plant in India (18 MW). Biomass plants burn organic material such as wood, residues or waste-derived fuel to raise steam; they are dispatchable and counted as low-carbon where the feedstock is sustainably sourced.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Local climate & thermal context
This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a hot semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 28.3°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 89% 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: 17/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
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.
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with dust abrasion the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
How it compares & nearby plants
The #96 largest biomass power plant of 152 in India by capacity.
India has 152 biomass power plants in this dataset, together about 3,072 MW of capacity.
