79th largest plant in Missouri · 5301st nationally
Mjmeuc Generating Station #1 is a natural gas power plant in Missouri with a nameplate capacity of 13.3 MW. It generates roughly 110.4k MWh per year — enough to power about 10,515 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 95% means it runs nearly around-the-clock as baseload generation. At 580 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits below 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.
