23rd largest plant in Louisiana · 789th nationally
Louisiana 1 is a other fossil power plant in Louisiana with a nameplate capacity of 451 MW. It generates roughly 3.1M MWh per year — enough to power about 298,548 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 79% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 612 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 (451 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.
