Capacity factor % of full output, by year

Net generation, fuel burned, capacity factor and heat rate by year, newest first, as EIA's bulk electricity file states them.
Year	Net generation (MWh)	Fuel burned (MMBtu)	Capacity factor	Heat rate (Btu/kWh)
2026 (8 of 12 months)	539,825	1,841,883	—	—
2025 (2 of 12 months)	118,335	403,759	—	—

How these are worked out

Net generation and fuel burned are the monthly figures EIA publishes in its bulk electricity file, from the plant's Form 923 reports; a year is the sum of its months. Capacity factor is a full year's net generation over today's nameplate capacity times the hours in that year (8,784 in a leap year), so a plant uprated or partly retired since reads against its current size; heat rate is fuel burned over net generation, for plants that burn fuel. A year with fewer than twelve months stated has no capacity factor, and a value outside the plausible range is left blank rather than shown. By month, the charts apply the same rules to each month's own hours and fuel.
