66th largest plant in Indiana · 2767th nationally
Whiting Refinery is a other fossil power plant in Indiana with a nameplate capacity of 83.8 MW. It generates roughly 445.2k MWh per year — enough to power about 42,398 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 61% puts it in the middle range — running steadily but not full-time.
Ghost bars are each month's theoretical maximum (83.8 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.
