53rd largest plant in Oregon · 3535th nationally
Dillard Complex is a biomass power plant in Oregon with a nameplate capacity of 51.5 MW. It generates roughly 114.0k MWh per year — enough to power about 10,859 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 25% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 12 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits below the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.

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.
