Tokai Kyodo power station is a 149 MW coal power station in Aichi, Japan. It is operated by Tokai Kyodo Electric Power Co. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 186,462 homes (estimated). It ranks #192 of 659 Japan power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 828,330 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 193,084 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 32.1% of Japan's electricity; the national grid averages 477 gCO₂/kWh (32.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 35.0°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 30% 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: 38/100 — 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.

The #46 largest coal power plant of 70 in Japan by capacity.
Japan has 70 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 43,127 MW of capacity.
