595th largest plant in Texas · 4596th nationally
Engineered Carbons Borger Cogen is a other fossil power plant in Texas with a nameplate capacity of 20.0 MW. It generates roughly 40.5k MWh per year — enough to power about 3,854 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 23% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 1927 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 (20.0 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.
