OtherTamaulipasMexicoCO₂ reported
Cogen Altamira power station is a 350 MW other power station in Tamaulipas, Mexico. It is operated by Cogeneración de Altamira SA de CV. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 262,800 homes (estimated). It ranks #72 of 335 Mexico power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 761,610 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 177,531 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 474 gCO₂/kWh (25.9% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 22.4°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 100% 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: 13/100 — 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.
