CoalMaharashtraIndia

NASIK TPP PH 1 is a 1,350 MW coal power station in Maharashtra, India. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,689,428 homes (estimated). It ranks #77 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2016, it is around 10 years old — relatively modern. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

~5,913,000 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

1,378,322passenger cars driven for a year
771,127homes' yearly energy use
98,550,000tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

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.

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 20.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 100% 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: 13/100 — 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.
