Wind power plant in Chubut, Argentina. Approximate location -45.8507, -67.9081.
WindChubutArgentina
PARQUE EOLICO EL TORDILLO is a 3 MW wind power plant in Chubut, Argentina. It is operated by VIENTOS DE LA PATAGONIA I.S.A./ENARSA. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2,552 homes (estimated). It ranks #210 of 236 Argentina power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 12.2% of Argentina's electricity; the national grid averages 346 gCO₂/kWh (41.6% low-carbon) (2025).

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a cold semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSk) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 45.9°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 1% 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: 50/100 — this site sits in the mid 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.
