79th largest plant in Oklahoma · 2271st nationally
Georgia-Pacific Muskogee is a natural gas power plant in Oklahoma with a nameplate capacity of 114 MW. It generates roughly 382.9k MWh per year — enough to power about 36,464 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 38% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 791 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 (114 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.
