PALINPINON GPP is a 192 MW geothermal power station in Central Visayas, Philippines. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 361,350 homes (estimated). It ranks #33 of 123 Philippines power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, geothermal supplies about 8.2% of Philippines's electricity; the national grid averages 588 gCO₂/kWh (23.3% low-carbon) (2025).

This geothermal plant taps underground heat to raise steam that drives a turbine. It sits in a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 9.3°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 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.
