748th largest plant in Texas · 6987th nationally
Snider Industries is a biomass power plant in Texas with a nameplate capacity of 5.0 MW. It generates roughly 11.5k MWh per year — enough to power about 1,090 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 26% reflects intermittent or peaking operation.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (5.0 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.

Biomass plants burn wood, agricultural waste, or methane from landfills to generate steam and electricity. They are considered carbon-neutral over long timescales when fuel is sustainably sourced, but they produce particulate emissions similar to coal.
