9th largest plant in New York · 219th nationally
Roseton Generating Facility is a oil power plant in New York with a nameplate capacity of 1,242 MW. It generates roughly 192.7k MWh per year — enough to power about 18,353 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 2% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 1388 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits above the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (1,242 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.

Oil-fired plants typically run only during peak demand or grid emergencies because oil is expensive compared to gas and coal. They have the highest CO₂ emissions per MWh of any common generation technology.
