14th largest plant in Maine · 2408th nationally
Rumford Cogeneration is a other fossil power plant in Maine with a nameplate capacity of 103 MW. It generates roughly 409.1k MWh per year — enough to power about 38,958 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 46% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 371 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 (103 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.
