OtherNuevo LeonMexicoCO₂ reported
Noreste (Escobedo) power station is a 1,680 MW other power station in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. It is operated by Mexico Infrastructure Partners SAPI de CV. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,261,440 homes (estimated). It ranks #4 of 335 Mexico power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 3,577,200 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 833,846 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 hot semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 25.9°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 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.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
The #1 largest other power plant of 24 in Mexico by capacity.
Mexico has 24 other power plants in this dataset, together about 10,510 MW of capacity.
