44th largest plant in Indiana · 1702nd nationally
Arcelormittal Burns Harbor is a other fossil power plant in Indiana with a nameplate capacity of 176 MW. It generates roughly 820.3k MWh per year — enough to power about 78,120 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 53% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 3537 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits above the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (176 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.
