In context: how this plant compares

At 5.6 MW, Alliant SBD 9203 Profol is below the median oil plant in United States of America (7.2 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Oil-fired plants burn heavy fuel oil or diesel, usually as peaking or backup capacity on islands and grids without gas pipelines; high fuel cost keeps their utilisation low.
