Coal power plant in Zlin, Czech Republic. Approximate location 49.2257, 17.654.
CoalZlinCzech Republic
Zlin power station is a 64 MW coal power plant in Zlin, Czech Republic. It is operated by Alpiq Group. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 80,091 homes (estimated). It ranks #37 of 472 Czech Republic power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2001, it is around 25 years old — relatively modern. In context, coal supplies about 35.2% of Czech Republic's electricity; the national grid averages 401 gCO₂/kWh (59.2% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 49.2°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 46% 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: 78/100 — 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.

The #25 largest coal power plant of 26 in Czech Republic by capacity.
Czech Republic has 26 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 8,903 MW of capacity.
