29 MW planned (Conventional Hydroelectric), first expected Feb 2029 · EIA-860M
Nameplate—MWSummer — MW
Generators0in service
Net generation—GWh12 mo
Capacity factor—no 923 generation in the last 12 months
Heat rate—thermal plants only
First online—
Capacity factor by year
Net MWh ÷ (summer MW × hours), primary-fuel units. Each year uses that year's EIA-860 ratings; the hollow dot is the latest 12 months.
No capacity factor available.
Heat rate by year
Electric fuel MMBtu × 1000 ÷ net MWh (Btu/kWh, HHV), fossil units only; CT + CA counted as one combined-cycle block.
Heat rate applies to fuel-burning (thermal) units only.
Generators
EIA-860 (annual) with EIA-860M updates through Sep 2026. EIA-923 reports generation by plant, prime mover and fuel, not by unit, so unit-level output isn't shown.
