The Centrale électrique de Manufrance is a key infrastructure asset in France's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Manufrance, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within France, Centrale électrique de Manufrance occupies the #25 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of France's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 6,062 MW. The largest operational gas installation in France is the MARTIGUES PONTEAU with an output of 930 MW, making the Centrale électrique de Manufrance approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of France's aggregate generation capacity of 243,444 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in France consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 45.4272° latitude and 4.4035° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the ST ALBAN (nuclear, 2670 MW), the Saint-Alban Nuclear Power Plant (nuclear, 2670 MW), the BOURG les VALENCE (hydroelectric, 180 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of France.
