Overview
CAS TRESORER TG3 CC2 is a 429 MW gas-fired power plant in the Balearic Islands, Spain, operated by ENDESA GENERACION S.A. It plays a key role in the region's electricity supply.
CAS TRESORER TG3 CC2 is a gas power plant located in the Balearic Islands, Spain, with an operational capacity of 429 megawatts. Owned and operated by ENDESA GENERACION S.A., the facility is part of Spain's natural gas-fired generation fleet, contributing to the country's energy mix. The plant operates under Spain's national energy regulations, which align with the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants. As a combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) facility, it achieves higher efficiency and lower emissions compared to older coal or oil-fired plants, supporting Spain's transition to cleaner energy. As a medium-to-large scale gas plant, CAS TRESORER TG3 CC2 provides flexible generation to meet peak demand and integrate renewable energy sources in the Balearic Islands. Its location near Palma de Mallorca ensures reliable power supply to the island's population and tourism-driven economy, while its gas-fired technology helps reduce local air pollutants relative to alternative fossil fuels.
Environmental context
The plant's gas-fired technology produces lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions per MWh compared to coal or oil plants, aligning with Spain's climate goals. Its location in the Balearic Islands, a region with high tourism and ecological sensitivity, means that emissions are regulated under strict EU air quality standards. The facility's efficiency and fuel choice help mitigate local environmental impacts while supporting grid stability.
