Waste power plant in Castille and Leon, Spain. Approximate location 41.8559, -1.9224.

WasteCastille and LeonSpainCO₂ reported

AGREDA is a 16 MW waste power plant in Castille and Leon, Spain. It is operated by INTEVER S.A.. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 22,438 homes (estimated). It ranks #601 of 872 Spain power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2000, it is around 26 years old — long-established. Its measured emissions of 14,305 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 3,334 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 154 gCO₂/kWh (74.6% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 41.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 32% 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: 70/100 — 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.
