37th largest plant in Ohio · 1647th nationally
Firstenergy Bay Shore is a oil power plant in Ohio with a nameplate capacity of 187 MW. It generates roughly 938.3k MWh per year — enough to power about 89,366 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 57% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 2583 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 (187 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.

Oil-fired plants typically run only during peak demand or grid emergencies because oil is expensive compared to gas and coal. They have the highest CO₂ emissions per MWh of any common generation technology.
