Wujing power station is a 1,800 MW coal power station in Shanghai Shi, China. It is operated by Shanghai Wujing Power LLC. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2,252,571 homes (estimated). It ranks #244 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1996, it is around 30 years old — long-established. Its measured emissions of 10,521,500 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 2,452,564 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 climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 31.1°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 33% 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: 37/100 — 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 #198 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.
