P.E. LA ZARZUELA II is a 16 MW wind power plant in Andalusia, Spain. It is operated by PARQUE EOLICO HINOJAL S.L.. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 13,615 homes (estimated). It ranks #633 of 900 Spain power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2007, it is around 19 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 20.4% of Spain's electricity; the national grid averages 154 gCO₂/kWh (74.6% low-carbon) (2025).

At 16 MW, P.E. LA ZARZUELA II is below the median wind plant in Spain (30 MW). Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 36.0°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 68% 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: 24/100 — 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 #294 largest wind power plant of 342 in Spain by capacity.
Spain has 342 wind power plants in this dataset, together about 11,337 MW of capacity.

Plants like this lose energy through hot valves, flanges, steam lines and heat exchangers. Inzonex makes removable, reusable valve, flange & pipe insulation that cuts that loss by up to 90% and holds surface temperatures under 45°C, unclipping in seconds for maintenance. See the industrial-AI efficiency hub for tools and benchmarks.
