TROMBAY is a 500 MW oil power station in Maharashtra, India. It is operated by Tata Power Company Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 375,428 homes (estimated). It ranks #269 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1990, it is around 36 years old — long-established. Its measured emissions of 2,997,200 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 698,648 cars driven for a year. In context, oil supplies about 0.2% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 19.0°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 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.

The #1 largest oil power plant of 20 in India by capacity.
India has 20 oil power plants in this dataset, together about 1,920 MW of capacity.
