Bessakerfjellet is a 58 MW wind power plant in Sor-Trondelag, Norway. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 49,356 homes (estimated). It ranks #137 of 306 Norway power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 8.4% of Norway's electricity; the national grid averages 28 gCO₂/kWh (99.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen Cfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 64.2°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 103% 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: 94/100 — 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.
