CoalMadhya PradeshIndia

SINGRAULI STPS is a 2,000 MW coal power station in Madhya Pradesh, India. It is operated by NTPC Limited. Based on reported annual generation of 13,610 GWh, it can supply roughly 3,888,571 homes. It ranks #33 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1984, it is around 42 years old — long-established. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 24.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 99% 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.
