348th largest plant in Texas · 1754th nationally
Air Products Port Arthur is a other fossil power plant in Texas with a nameplate capacity of 169 MW. It generates roughly 1.2M MWh per year — enough to power about 113,806 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 81% means it runs nearly around-the-clock as baseload generation. At 737 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits below the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (169 MW nameplate × hours in the month). Filled bars are actual net generation reported to EIA Form 923. The gap between them is capacity factor made visible.
