NAMRUP GT is a 162 MW gas power station in Assam, India. Based on reported annual generation of 299 GWh, it can supply roughly 85,342 homes. It ranks #442 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1990, it is around 36 years old — long-established. In context, gas supplies about 2.3% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × a typical gas emission factor (~400 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 27.2°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 93% 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: 16/100 — 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~5% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #50 largest gas power plant of 79 in India by capacity.
India has 79 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 28,926 MW of capacity.
