Indiana Harbor E 5 Ac Station

⚡ Other FossilIndustrial CHP90 MW capacity

65th largest plant in Indiana · 2692nd nationally

Indiana Harbor E 5 Ac Station is a other fossil power plant in Indiana with a nameplate capacity of 90.0 MW. It generates roughly 663.0k MWh per year — enough to power about 63,147 average U.S. homes.

Its capacity factor of 84% means it runs nearly around-the-clock as baseload generation. At 3205 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits above the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.
