WindMecklenburg-VorpommernGermany

Baltic 2 is a 288 MW wind power station in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 245,079 homes (estimated). It ranks #95 of 1,369 Germany power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2015, it is around 11 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 27.2% of Germany's electricity; the national grid averages 330 gCO₂/kWh (59.1% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 55.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 46% 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: 78/100 — 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.
