Weiqiao Huji power station is a 2,640 MW coal power station in Shandong Sheng, China. It is operated by Weiqiao Huimin New Material Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 3,303,771 homes (estimated). It ranks #81 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2015, it is around 11 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 10,280,500 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 2,396,387 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 54.3% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 37.4°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 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 #57 largest coal power plant of 1434 in China by capacity.
China has 1434 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 1,249,175 MW of capacity.
