Yesilyurt power station is a 231 MW other power station in Samsun, Turkey. It is operated by Yesilyurt Enerji Elektrik Üretim AŞ. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 173,448 homes (estimated). It ranks #77 of 278 Turkey power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 333,300 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 77,692 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 475 gCO₂/kWh (43.3% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 41.2°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 10% 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: 46/100 — 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 #11 largest other power plant of 43 in Turkey by capacity.
Turkey has 43 other power plants in this dataset, together about 10,282 MW of capacity.
