Gas power plant in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Approximate location 24.1972, -110.2591.
GasBaja California SurMexicoCO₂ reported
Amaunet power station is a 135 MW gas power station in Baja California Sur, Mexico. It is operated by Comisión Federal de Electricidad EPE. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 152,048 homes (estimated). It ranks #132 of 335 Mexico power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 464,210 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 108,207 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 61.6% of Mexico's electricity; the national grid averages 474 gCO₂/kWh (25.9% low-carbon) (2025).

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 24.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 97% below 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: 15/100 — this site sits in the bottom 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~5% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
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.
The #65 largest gas power plant of 80 in Mexico by capacity.
Mexico has 80 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 29,600 MW of capacity.
