37th largest plant in Maryland · 4986th nationally
Domino Sugar Baltimore is a natural gas power plant in Maryland with a nameplate capacity of 17.5 MW. It generates roughly 49.6k MWh per year — enough to power about 4,724 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 32% reflects intermittent or peaking operation.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (17.5 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.

Natural gas plants are the workhorse of the modern grid. Combined-cycle units achieve very high efficiency and can ramp up and down quickly to balance variable renewables. They emit roughly half the CO₂ per MWh of coal and far less of other pollutants, but they still release upstream methane during fuel extraction.
