The Ansan LNG Combined Cycle Power Plant is a key infrastructure asset in South Korea's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing coal energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the GS Energy, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2012, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within South Korea, Ansan LNG Combined Cycle Power Plant occupies the #37 position among all operational coal power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of South Korea's total installed coal generating capacity, which currently stands at 83,337 MW. The largest operational coal installation in South Korea is the Dangjin Thermal Power Station with an output of 6,040 MW, making the Ansan LNG Combined Cycle Power Plant approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of South Korea's aggregate generation capacity of 255,681 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of coal power plants (modeled at 55% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in South Korea consumes 3 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 37.2980° latitude and 126.7995° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Dangjin Power Station (coal-fired, 6040 MW), the Dangjin Thermal Power Station (coal-fired, 6040 MW), the Yeongheung (coal-fired, 5080 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 South Korea.
