Van CCGE power station is a 114 MW other power station in Van, Turkey. It is operated by Aksa Enerji Uretim AŞ. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 85,973 homes (estimated). It ranks #112 of 278 Turkey power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 160,210 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 37,345 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 475 gCO₂/kWh (43.3% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a warm-summer Mediterranean continental climate (Köppen Dsb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 38.6°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 58% 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: 83/100 — this site sits in the top 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 #25 largest other power plant of 43 in Turkey by capacity.
Turkey has 43 other power plants in this dataset, together about 10,282 MW of capacity.
