26th largest plant in New Jersey · 2903rd nationally
Paulsboro Refinery is a other fossil power plant in New Jersey with a nameplate capacity of 78.5 MW. It generates roughly 336.2k MWh per year — enough to power about 32,019 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 49% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 653 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 (78.5 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.
