62nd largest plant in Oregon · 3890th nationally
Biomass One Lp is a biomass power plant in Oregon with a nameplate capacity of 40.0 MW. It generates roughly 136.0k MWh per year — enough to power about 12,956 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 39% reflects intermittent or peaking operation.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (40.0 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.

Biomass plants burn wood, agricultural waste, or methane from landfills to generate steam and electricity. They are considered carbon-neutral over long timescales when fuel is sustainably sourced, but they produce particulate emissions similar to coal.
