GasCentral GreeceGreece

Thisvi Power Station is a 421 MW gas power station in Central Greece, Greece. It is operated by Elpedison Energy. Based on reported annual generation of 1,245 GWh, it can supply roughly 355,828 homes. It ranks #13 of 90 Greece power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2010, it is around 16 years old — relatively modern. In context, gas supplies about 38.4% of Greece's electricity; the national grid averages 315 gCO₂/kWh (49.7% low-carbon) (2025).

~498,160 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

116,121passenger cars driven for a year
64,966homes' yearly energy use
8,302,667tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × a typical gas emission factor (~400 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 gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 38.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 25% 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: 41/100 — this site sits in the mid 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.

A gas turbine here also runs ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
