54th largest plant in Louisiana · 2940th nationally
Citgo Refinery Powerhouse is a other fossil power plant in Louisiana with a nameplate capacity of 75.0 MW. It generates roughly 174.4k MWh per year — enough to power about 16,611 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 27% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 653 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 (75.0 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.
