91st largest plant in Michigan · 4156th nationally
Grs Arbor Hills is a biomass power plant in Michigan with a nameplate capacity of 30.3 MW. It generates roughly 55.8k MWh per year — enough to power about 5,312 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 21% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 0 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 (30.3 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.
