Output over time

Net generation · MWhElectricity produced after the plant’s own use. A negative value means it used more electricity than it produced.Definition ↗

Annual net generation · MWh. Bars below zero are negative net generation; a hollow mark means not reported. Missing years are not filled.

Ownership & operation

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 ↗

Operating nameplate MW x ownership fraction, once per generator; reported schedule or EIA-860 schedule-4 default. Ownership source & rules ↗

CO2 filed by EPA-monitored units

2024

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.

Lifecycle of the units

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.
