Xingyi power station is a 1,200 MW coal power station in Guangxi Zhuangzu Zizhiqu, China. It is operated by Guizhou Development Investment Corporation. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,501,714 homes (estimated). It ranks #552 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2011, it is around 15 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 5,129,300 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,195,641 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 subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 25.3°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 56% 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: 27/100 — 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 #450 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.
