HydroAlaskaCanada
Pine Creek (Atlin) is a 2 MW hydro power plant in Alaska, Canada. It is operated by Xeitl LP. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2,102 homes (estimated). It ranks #1112 of 1,213 Canada power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, hydro supplies about 52.8% of Canada's electricity; the national grid averages 191 gCO₂/kWh (77.0% low-carbon) (2025).

At 2 MW, Pine Creek (Atlin) is below the median hydro plant in Canada (12 MW). Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.

This hydro plant converts the energy of falling or flowing water through hydro turbines. It sits in a Mediterranean subarctic climate (Köppen Dsc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 59.6°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 162% 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: 99/100 — 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.

The #505 largest hydro power plant of 556 in Canada by capacity.
Canada has 556 hydro power plants in this dataset, together about 80,683 MW of capacity.

Plants like this lose energy through hot valves, flanges, steam lines and heat exchangers. Inzonex makes removable, reusable valve, flange & pipe insulation that cuts that loss by up to 90% and holds surface temperatures under 45°C, unclipping in seconds for maintenance. See the industrial-AI efficiency hub for tools and benchmarks.
