580th largest plant in Texas · 4163rd nationally
Borger Plant is a other fossil power plant in Texas with a nameplate capacity of 30.0 MW. It generates roughly 45.6k MWh per year — enough to power about 4,344 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 17% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 3446 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 (30.0 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.
