TURBIGO is a 1,569 MW oil power station in Lombardy, Italy. It is operated by Edipower. Based on reported annual generation of 1,272 GWh, it can supply roughly 363,314 homes. It ranks #5 of 441 Italy power plants by installed capacity. In context, oil supplies about 2.6% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × a typical oil emission factor (~750 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 45.5°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 3% above 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: 51/100 — 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 #2 largest oil power plant of 13 in Italy by capacity.
Italy has 13 oil power plants in this dataset, together about 9,000 MW of capacity.
