In context: how this plant compares

At 44.1 MW, Coastal Carolina Clean Power is well above the median biomass plant in United States of America (17.9 MW). Its lifecycle status is Retired; it no longer generates electricity. Biomass plants burn organic material such as wood, residues or waste-derived fuel to raise steam; they are dispatchable and counted as low-carbon where the feedstock is sustainably sourced.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
