OtherLouisianaUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported

PPG Powerhouse A is a 52 MW other power plant in Louisiana, United States of America. It is operated by Eagle 2 US LLC. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 39,420 homes (estimated). It ranks #2667 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1949, it is around 77 years old — an older, legacy facility. Its measured emissions of 531,610 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 123,918 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 30.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 72% 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: 23/100 — 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.
