Other power plant in Amazonas, Brazil. Approximate location -3.1173, -59.9299.
OtherAmazonasBrazilCO₂ reported
Mauá 3 power station is a 570 MW other power station in Amazonas, Brazil. It is operated by Âmbar Energia SA. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 427,988 homes (estimated). It ranks #47 of 2,549 Brazil power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 2,174,400 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 506,853 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 110 gCO₂/kWh (88.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 3.1°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 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.
