Yongchuan Gangqiao Industry Park Cogen power station is a 980 MW gas power station in Chongqing Shi, China. It is operated by Chongqing Tiantai Thermal Power Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,103,760 homes (estimated). It ranks #625 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 712,400 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 166,061 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 humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 29.4°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 54% 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~2% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #36 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.
