Capacity is the amount of electricity a generator can produce when it’s running at full blast. This maximum amount of power is typically measured in megawatts (MW) or kilowatts and helps utilities project just how big of an electricity load a generator can handle. U.S. nuclear generation capacity exceeded more than 99 gigawatts in 2023.
Key termsGenerator: A generator is a unit that produces electric power. A power plant typically has multiple generators. EIA data on capacity is organized by generator, not by power plant. Net summer capacity: When tracking electricity generation capacity, EIA—and most of the electricity industry—typically relies on net summer capacity.
Capacity is not the same as electricity generation. Power plants have a capacity to produce a certain amount of power during a given time, but if they are taken offline (i.e. for maintenance or refueling) then they are not actually generating power.
When it comes to generation capacity, think maximum power output. Capacity is the amount of electricity a generator can produce when it’s running at full blast. This maximum amount of power is typically measured in megawatts (MW) or kilowatts and helps utilities project just how big of an electricity load a generator can handle.
