55th largest plant in Pennsylvania · 2196th nationally
Procter & Gamble Mehoopany Mill is a natural gas power plant in Pennsylvania with a nameplate capacity of 120 MW. It generates roughly 847.7k MWh per year — enough to power about 80,737 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 81% means it runs nearly around-the-clock as baseload generation.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (120 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.

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.
