53rd largest plant in North Dakota · 6341st nationally
Tesoro Mandan Cogeneration Plant is a other fossil power plant in North Dakota with a nameplate capacity of 7.5 MW. It generates roughly 31.1k MWh per year — enough to power about 2,959 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 47% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time. At 695 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 (7.5 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.
