Gas power plant in Oaxaca, Mexico. Approximate location 16.211, -95.1721.
GasOaxacaMexicoCO₂ reported
Pemex-Refinación Refinería Ing. Antonio Dovalí Jaime is a 115 MW gas power station in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is operated by Pemex. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 129,748 homes (estimated). It ranks #140 of 335 Mexico power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 69,567 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 16,216 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 61.6% of Mexico's electricity; the national grid averages 474 gCO₂/kWh (25.9% low-carbon) (2025).

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 16.2°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 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.
A gas turbine here also runs ~9% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
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 #71 largest gas power plant of 80 in Mexico by capacity.
Mexico has 80 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 29,600 MW of capacity.
