Power generation near this area

There are 61 power plants within 50 miles of West Columbia, South Carolina (ZIP 29170), with a combined 5,401 MW of nameplate capacity. Solar is the most common fuel type in this area with 32 of the 61 nearby plants. The closest plant is Otarre Solar Park at 5.4 miles.

Nameplate capacity is the maximum output a plant can produce under ideal conditions — actual generation depends on fuel availability, demand, and maintenance schedules. Capacity factor (shown on individual plant pages) measures how much of that theoretical maximum a plant actually delivers over a year. Nuclear plants typically run above 90%; solar and wind range from 20–45% depending on location and weather.
