Amandina power station — Brazil

Amandina power station is a 121.5 MW other power station in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. It is operated by Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema SA. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 91k homes (estimated). It ranks #278 of 2,572 Brazil power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 2,550 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 594 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 110 gCO₂/kWh (88.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 22.4°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Monthly mean temperature

This site has effectively no heating season (tropical/equatorial climate), so winter heat loss is not the driver here. The thermal concern shifts to year-round process heat and humidity/heat-driven corrosion of hot equipment.

Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.

Site climate & environmental severity

This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.

Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
