Centro histórico de Villanueva del Río y Minas

Coal

The Centro histórico de Villanueva del Río y Minas is a key infrastructure asset in Spain's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing coal energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Spain, Centro histórico de Villanueva del Río y Minas occupies the #18 position among all operational coal power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Spain's total installed coal generating capacity, which currently stands at 9,408 MW. The largest operational coal installation in Spain is the LITORAL DE ALMERIA GR 2 with an output of 1,120 MW, making the Centro histórico de Villanueva del Río y Minas approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Spain's aggregate generation capacity of 122,104 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of coal power plants (modeled at 55% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Spain consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 0.0000° latitude and 0.0000° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Bunji Dam (hydro, 7,100 MW), Ashihama nuclear power plant (nuclear, 2,700 MW), Ladyzhyn power plant (coal, 1,800 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Spain.
