The Ceuta Power Plant 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 oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Endesa, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 1980, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Spain, Ceuta Power Plant occupies the #31 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Spain's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 6,176 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Spain is the CT SANTURCE 2 with an output of 897 MW, making the Ceuta Power Plant 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 oil power plants (modeled at 15% 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 35.8961° latitude and -5.3422° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Bahía de Algeciras Power Plant (gas-fired, 821 MW), the CCC BAHIA DE ALGECIRAS (gas-fired, 820.536 MW), the San Roque Power Plant (hydroelectric, 792 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.
