Waste power plant in California, United States of America. Approximate location 34.3357, -118.5192.
WasteCaliforniaUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported
Sunshine Gas Producers is a 23 MW waste power plant in California, United States of America. It is operated by Sunshine Gas Producers LLC. Based on reported annual generation of 148 GWh, it can supply roughly 42,285 homes. It ranks #3538 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2014, it is around 12 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 33,421 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 7,790 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 34.3°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 70% 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.
