18th largest plant in Nebraska · 1385th nationally
Terry Bundy Generating Station is a natural gas power plant in Nebraska with a nameplate capacity of 216 MW. It generates roughly 89.1k MWh per year — enough to power about 8,484 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 5% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 462 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 (216 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.
