Mellach power station is a 1,084 MW other power station in Styria, Austria. It is operated by Verbund Thermal Power GmbH & Co KG. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 813,929 homes (estimated). It ranks #2 of 118 Austria power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 681,775 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 158,922 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 46.9°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 32% 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: 70/100 — 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 #1 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.
