Yarnima power station is a 190 MW other power station in Western Australia, Australia. It is operated by BHP Group Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 142,737 homes (estimated). It ranks #86 of 512 Australia power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 216,190 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 50,394 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (38.6% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 23.3°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 91% 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: 17/100 — 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 #3 largest other power plant of 5 in Australia by capacity.
Australia has 5 other power plants in this dataset, together about 1,467 MW of capacity.
