PARQUE EOLICO SIERRA DEL ORO is a 26 MW wind power plant in Murcia, Spain. It is operated by URBAENERGIA S.A.. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 22,125 homes (estimated). It ranks #458 of 872 Spain power plants by installed capacity. 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).

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) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 38.3°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 41% 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: 33/100 — 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.
