Coal power plant in Moquegua, Peru. Approximate location -17.7762, -71.1896.
CoalMoqueguaPeru
Ilo 1 is a 132 MW coal power station in Moquegua, Peru. It is operated by Energía del Sur S.A.. Based on reported annual generation of 62 GWh, it can supply roughly 17,714 homes. It ranks #18 of 32 Peru power plants by installed capacity. In context, coal supplies about 0.0% of Peru's electricity; the national grid averages 238 gCO₂/kWh (63.6% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 17.8°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 91% 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: 17/100 — 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.
