Power generation near this area

There are 100 power plants within 50 miles of San Marcos, California (ZIP 92078), with a combined 2,404 MW of nameplate capacity. Natural Gas is the most common fuel type in this area with 28 of the 100 nearby plants. The closest plant is Watkins Manufacturing Co. at 3.4 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.
