Manisa OSB cogeneration power station — Turkey

Manisa OSB cogeneration power station is a 135.9 MW other power station in Manisa, Turkey. It is operated by MOSB Enerji Elektrik Üretim AŞ. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 102k homes (estimated). It ranks #278 of 502 Turkey power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 180,040 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 42k cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 475 gCO₂/kWh (43.3% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 38.6°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 25% 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: 41/100 — this site sits in the mid 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 moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness 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.
