OtherSilesian VoivodeshipPolandCO₂ reported

ZW Nowa power station is a 180 MW other power station in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It is operated by Tameh Holding SP zoo. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 135,154 homes (estimated). It ranks #44 of 197 Poland power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 616,390 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 143,681 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 589 gCO₂/kWh (31.5% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 50.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 47% 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.
