Maple Leaf power station is a 40 MW coal power plant in Punjab, Pakistan. It is operated by Maple Leaf Power. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 50,057 homes (estimated). It ranks #54 of 62 Pakistan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2017, it is around 9 years old — relatively modern. In context, coal supplies about 14.8% of Pakistan's electricity; the national grid averages 347 gCO₂/kWh (54.9% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 32.9°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 80% 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: 20/100 — this site sits in the bottom 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.

The #7 largest coal power plant of 7 in Pakistan by capacity.
Pakistan has 7 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 3,108 MW of capacity.
