NAPOLI L is a 400 MW gas power station in Campania, Italy. It is operated by Tirreno. Based on reported annual generation of 1,091 GWh, it can supply roughly 311,800 homes. It ranks #59 of 441 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2009, it is around 17 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 410,484 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 95,684 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 47.2% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.8°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 36% 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: 35/100 — this site sits in the mid 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 ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #37 largest gas power plant of 64 in Italy by capacity.
Italy has 64 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 39,931 MW of capacity.
