95th largest plant in Alaska · 9578th nationally
Togiak is a oil power plant in Alaska with a nameplate capacity of 2.8 MW. It generates roughly 3.2k MWh per year — enough to power about 300 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 13% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 1534 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits above the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.

Annual totals and CO₂ rate reported by EPA eGRID for 2023. Reference averages are approximate U.S.-wide figures from the same dataset.
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.
