302nd largest plant in California · 2772nd nationally
Equilon Los Angeles Refining is a other fossil power plant in California with a nameplate capacity of 83.0 MW. It generates roughly 334.6k MWh per year — enough to power about 31,869 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 46% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 662 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 (83.0 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.
