Ningxia Yinchuan Zhongke power station is a 24 MW other power plant in Ningxia Huizu Zizhiqu, China. It is operated by Hangzhou Jinhuan Investment Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 18k homes (estimated). It ranks #5006 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 128,754 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 30k cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context
This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a cold desert climate (Köppen BWk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 38.2°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 52% 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: 81/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
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.
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with dust abrasion the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
How it compares & nearby plants
The #17 largest other power plant of 18 in China by capacity.
China has 18 other power plants in this dataset, together about 2,830 MW of capacity.
