Xinjiang Kelamayi power station is a 74 MW gas power plant in Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu, China. It is operated by China Petroleum and Natural Gas Group LTD Xinjiang Oilfield Co. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 83,908 homes (estimated). It ranks #2142 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 54,136 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 12,619 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 3.2% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a cold desert climate (Köppen BWk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 45.7°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 75% 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: 88/100 — 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #196 largest gas power plant of 315 in China by capacity.
China has 315 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 116,718 MW of capacity.
