About this record
Garfield County, WA. Reports to the Bonneville Power Administration balancing authorityThe organization that balances electricity supply and demand in a reporting area.Definition ↗.
Nameplate capacity, operating generatorsFull nameplate rating of the operating generators, before ownership shares. MW measures rated power; annual output is energy in MWh.Definition ↗
342.7MW
Source & method
Sum of generator nameplate MW with operational status code OP in the inventory year; one row per generator; unscaled by ownership
2024 inventory · reported · derived · valid · final
Net generationEnergy produced over the stated period after the plant’s own use, including signed storage output. Plant output is not allocated to owners or buyers.Definition ↗
864,875MWh
2024
Source & method
Sum of EIA-923 annual net generation over the plant's unique prime-mover x energy-source rows; negative values (pumping, station use) retained
2024 calendar year · reported · derived · valid · final
Net generation MWh / (operating nameplate MW x hours in year); only when every operating generator was operating before the year began and none retired during it
2024 calendar year · reported · derived · valid · final
derived: net_generation_mwh@2024 / (nameplate_mw_op x 8784 h)
Ownership basisHow a generator's owners were established: from EIA-860's ownership schedule (reported), from EIA's rule that a unit absent from a complete schedule is wholly owned by its operator (derived), or unknown.Definition ↗
OwnerAn organization with a reported share of a generator. Owned MW applies that share to operating nameplate capacity; it does not establish who buys the output.Definition ↗Investor-owned utilityPuget Sound Energy ↗
342.7MW owned
Operating nameplate MW x ownership fraction, once per generator; reported schedule or EIA-860 schedule-4 default. Ownership source & rules ↗
Generators at this plant
Unscaled nameplateA generator’s rated maximum power, in MW. Capacity is a rating, not how much electricity it produced.Definition ↗
1 generators, including non-operating units where reported. Status is the inventory-year status.
Generator
Technology / statusWhether a generator or project is operating, planned, on standby or retired, as its source reports it.Definition ↗
NameplateA generator’s rated maximum power, in MW. Capacity is a rating, not how much electricity it produced.Definition ↗ · MW
Ownership basisHow a generator's owners were established: from EIA-860's ownership schedule (reported), from EIA's rule that a unit absent from a complete schedule is wholly owned by its operator (derived), or unknown.Definition ↗
This plant has no coal, gas, oil or waste generator, so it has no combustion unit for EPA to monitor and no CEMS data exists. That is not a claim of zero emissions: the atlas reports only what EPA-monitored units filed. Source
Latest inventoryThe newest complete monthly inventory, with dated status and capacity changes beside the annual baseline totals.Definition ↗ · August 2026
Operating
No confirmed status or capacity changes among comparable units. Missing monthly assertions and units outside the baseline have no like-for-like comparison.
Operating nameplate capacity, latest inventoryOperating nameplate MW in this monthly inventory. Compare it with the annual baseline; do not add the two inventories together.Definition ↗
342.7MW
· provisional
Source & method
Sum of nameplate MW over generators whose current-valid EIA-860M workbook assertion has status OP; dated by the complete inventory edition; never added to the baseline aggregate
Planned nameplate capacity, latest inventoryNameplate MW proposed or under construction in this monthly inventory, separate from operating MW. Planned dates are forecasts.Definition ↗
Not applicable
· provisional
Source & method
Sum of nameplate MW over generators whose current-valid EIA-860M workbook assertion is a proposal or construction stage (P, L, T, U, V, OT, TS); a proposal is not a commitment and its date is a forecast
Retired or cancelled nameplate capacity, latest inventory
Not applicable
· provisional
Source & method
Sum of nameplate MW over generators whose current-valid EIA-860M workbook assertion is retired, cancelled or indefinitely postponed (RE, CN, IP); retired is not demolished
Each unit's operating span from its reported operating date to its retirement date or to the August 2026 inventory (the vertical line). Dashed spans start at a planned operating date, a forecast; a short bar marks a planned retirement. Standby and out-of-service units are hatched.

Requests BPA received for this plant, linked only where a cited public source identifies the facility, and the state, county and resource both accounts give agree. A request is not a plant: its MW and status stay BPA’s own.
Washington Fuel Mix Disclosure claims on this plant for CY2024, the latest year loaded; several suppliers can claim one plant; a claim attributes retail sales, it is not a wire or a share of ownership
