Rabigh 2 IPP power station is a 2,058 MW other power station in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It is operated by Al-Mourjan for Electricity Production Co. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,545,264 homes (estimated). It ranks #17 of 146 Saudi Arabia power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 4,986,300 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,162,308 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 692 gCO₂/kWh (2.2% low-carbon) (2024).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 22.6°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 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.
