CoalCzech RepublicCzech RepublicCO₂ reported
TAMEH OSTRAVA is a 229 MW coal power station in Czech Republic, Czech Republic. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 286,577 homes (estimated). It ranks #18 of 472 Czech Republic power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 701,170 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 163,443 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 35.2% of Czech Republic's electricity; the national grid averages 401 gCO₂/kWh (59.2% low-carbon) (2025).

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 49.8°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 44% 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: 77/100 — 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.
