Oil power plant in Tabasco, Mexico. Approximate location 17.8852, -92.4902.
OilTabascoMexicoCO₂ reported
CPG CIUDAD PEMEX is a 59 MW oil power plant in Tabasco, Mexico. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 44,300 homes (estimated). It ranks #186 of 335 Mexico power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 57,329 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 13,363 cars driven for a year. In context, oil supplies about 9.4% of Mexico's electricity; the national grid averages 474 gCO₂/kWh (25.9% low-carbon) (2025).

This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 17.9°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.

The #26 largest oil power plant of 26 in Mexico by capacity.
Mexico has 26 oil power plants in this dataset, together about 11,972 MW of capacity.
