Zhejiang Taizhou-1 power station is a 1,260 MW coal power station in Zhejiang Sheng, China. It is operated by Zhejiang Zheneng Electric Power Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,576,800 homes (estimated). It ranks #460 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1995, it is around 31 years old — long-established. Its measured emissions of 5,681,800 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,324,429 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 humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 28.7°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 46% 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: 31/100 — 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 #378 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.
