83rd largest plant in Georgia · 3170th nationally
Inland Paperboard Packaging Rome is a oil power plant in Georgia with a nameplate capacity of 70.4 MW. It generates roughly 358.0k MWh per year — enough to power about 34,097 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 58% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 387 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 (70.4 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.
