801st largest plant in Texas · 11275th nationally
Jameson Gas Processing Plant is a natural gas power plant in Texas with a nameplate capacity of 1.8 MW. It generates roughly 12.8k MWh per year — enough to power about 1,223 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 81% means it runs nearly around-the-clock as baseload generation. At 920 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits above the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.

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.
