UTRAULA TPP

Coal power plant in Uttar Pradesh, India. Approximate location 27.3455, 82.3166.

CoalUttar PradeshIndiaCO₂ reported

UTRAULA TPP is a 90 MW coal power plant in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is operated by Lalitpur Power Generation Co Ltd. Based on reported annual generation of 178 GWh, it can supply roughly 50,771 homes. It ranks #586 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2012, it is around 14 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 352,103 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 82,075 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 27.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 94% 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: 16/100 — 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.
