HydroJaemtlandSweden

Naverede is a 70 MW hydro power plant in Jaemtland, Sweden. It is operated by 100% Vattenfall. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 70,080 homes (estimated). It ranks #67 of 168 Sweden power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1955, it is around 71 years old — an older, legacy facility. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, hydro supplies about 40.0% of Sweden's electricity; the national grid averages 35 gCO₂/kWh (98.8% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This hydro plant converts the energy of falling or flowing water through hydro turbines. It sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 63.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 138% 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: 98/100 — 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.
