CAMPO DE GIBRALTAR GRUPO 20 is a 781 MW gas power station in Andalusia, Spain. It is operated by PUENTE MAYORGA GENERACION S.L.U.. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 879,291 homes (estimated). It ranks #39 of 872 Spain power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2004, it is around 22 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 284,035 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 66,209 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 21.6% of Spain's electricity; the national grid averages 154 gCO₂/kWh (74.6% 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-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 36.2°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 69% 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: 24/100 — 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 ~2% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #24 largest gas power plant of 68 in Spain by capacity.
Spain has 68 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 29,070 MW of capacity.
