50th largest plant in New York · 2193rd nationally
Red-Rochester, Llc is a natural gas power plant in New York with a nameplate capacity of 121 MW. It generates roughly 291.6k MWh per year — enough to power about 27,774 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 28% reflects intermittent or peaking operation.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (121 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.
