WindCaliforniaUnited States of America

Coram Tehachapi is a 6 MW wind power plant in California, United States of America. It is operated by Brookfield Renewable Trading and Marketing LP. Based on reported annual generation of 11 GWh, it can supply roughly 3,200 homes. It ranks #5230 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1992, it is around 34 years old — long-established. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 10.3% of United States of America's electricity; the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% 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 cold semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 35.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 29% 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: 38/100 — this site sits in the mid 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.
