79th largest plant in Oregon · 4920th nationally
Georgia-Pacific Toledo Mill is a biomass power plant in Oregon with a nameplate capacity of 18.8 MW. It generates roughly 59.6k MWh per year — enough to power about 5,679 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 36% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 318 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 (18.8 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.

Biomass plants burn wood, agricultural waste, or methane from landfills to generate steam and electricity. They are considered carbon-neutral over long timescales when fuel is sustainably sourced, but they produce particulate emissions similar to coal.
