CoalPristinaSerbia

TE KOSOVO A is a 617 MW coal power station in Pristina, Serbia. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 772,131 homes (estimated). It ranks #6 of 12 Serbia power plants by installed capacity. In context, coal supplies about 65.0% of Serbia's electricity; the national grid averages 696 gCO₂/kWh (27.8% low-carbon) (2025).

~2,702,460 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

629,944passenger cars driven for a year
352,433homes' yearly energy use
45,041,000tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

Local climate & thermal context

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 42.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 32% 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: 70/100 — 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.
