White Nile State is a 100 MW biomass power station in White Nile, Sudan. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 137,657 homes (estimated). It ranks #6 of 19 Sudan power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 0.7% of Sudan's electricity; the national grid averages 154 gCO₂/kWh (79.7% low-carbon) (2024).

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 14.1°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 100% 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: 13/100 — 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.
