Valbasento power station is a 62 MW other power plant in Basilicate, Italy. It is operated by Tecnoparco Valbasento SpA. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 46,402 homes (estimated). It ranks #160 of 441 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 57,115 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 13,314 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.4°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 40% 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: 33/100 — 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 #20 largest other power plant of 29 in Italy by capacity.
Italy has 29 other power plants in this dataset, together about 5,008 MW of capacity.
