Trakya CHP power station is a 31 MW gas power plant in Adiyaman, Turkey. It is operated by Şişecam Enerji AŞ. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 34,914 homes (estimated). It ranks #160 of 278 Turkey power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 47,371 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 11,042 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 22.1% of Turkey's electricity; the national grid averages 475 gCO₂/kWh (43.3% low-carbon) (2025).

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 37.8°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 31% 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~1% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #31 largest gas power plant of 32 in Turkey by capacity.
Turkey has 32 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 19,414 MW of capacity.
