Tortosa Energia power station is a 42 MW other power plant in Catalonia, Spain. It is operated by Tortosa Energia SA. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 31,235 homes (estimated). It ranks #309 of 872 Spain power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 36,071 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 8,408 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 154 gCO₂/kWh (74.6% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.8°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 56% 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: 27/100 — 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 #13 largest other power plant of 22 in Spain by capacity.
Spain has 22 other power plants in this dataset, together about 2,203 MW of capacity.
