CogenerationScotlandUnited KingdomCO₂ reported
Steven's Croft is a 50 MW cogeneration power plant in Scotland, United Kingdom. It is operated by E.ON (formerly Powergen). Agent Environmental Planning and Management. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 62,571 homes (estimated). It ranks #183 of 2,751 United Kingdom power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 396,862 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS) are equivalent to about 92,509 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 217 gCO₂/kWh (64.4% low-carbon) (2025).

This cogeneration plant produces electricity and useful heat together for higher fuel efficiency. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 55.2°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 42% 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: 76/100 — 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.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
The #5 largest cogeneration power plant of 7 in United Kingdom by capacity.
United Kingdom has 7 cogeneration power plants in this dataset, together about 3,006 MW of capacity.
