Sălbatica I is a 70 MW wind power plant in Tulcea, Romania. It is operated by ENEL GreenPower. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 59,568 homes (estimated). It ranks #30 of 68 Romania power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2011, it is around 15 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 12.0% of Romania's electricity; the national grid averages 251 gCO₂/kWh (67.5% low-carbon) (2025).

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 45.0°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 12% above 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: 56/100 — 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.
