CCC SAGUNTO GRUPO 2 is a 1,232 MW gas power station in Valencia, Spain. It is operated by GAS NATURAL FENOSA GENERACION S.L.U.. Based on reported annual generation of 2,772 GWh, it can supply roughly 791,885 homes. It ranks #7 of 872 Spain power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2007, it is around 19 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 662,600 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 154,452 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 cold semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 39.6°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 55% 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: 27/100 — 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 ~1% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #5 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.
