CoalMaharashtraIndia

TIRORA TPP is a 3,300 MW coal power station in Maharashtra, India. It is operated by Adani Power. Based on reported annual generation of 20,518 GWh, it can supply roughly 5,862,285 homes. It ranks #7 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2013, it is around 13 years old — relatively modern. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

~20,518,000 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

4,782,751passenger cars driven for a year
2,675,796homes' yearly energy use
341,966,667tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × 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 tropical savanna climate (Köppen As) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 21.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 100% 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: 13/100 — 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.
