GEORGIA-PACIFIC CONSR PRODS LP-NAHEOLA, a 78 MW Biomass power plant in Choctaw County, Alabama. One of 78 power plants tracked in Alabama on Bywatts.
How GEORGIA-PACIFIC CONSR PRODS LP-NAHEOLA compares
With 78 MW of capacity, GEORGIA-PACIFIC CONSR PRODS LP-NAHEOLA ranks 44th among the 64 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Alabama and 4th of the 10 operating Biomass plants in the state. It accounts for about 13% of Alabama's operating Biomass capacity and 0.2% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 34th-largest of the 350 operating Biomass plants in the database. Commissioned in 1993, it is newer than 62% of the 64 operating Alabama plants with a recorded commissioning year.
EIA-860 lists 2 generators at the site with 88 MW of nameplate capacity, all wood/wood waste biomass technology (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 78 MW). Net generation was 315 GWh in 2024 (a 41% capacity factor), down 10% from 2022. Its generators came online between 1993 and 2019.

Weather peril exposure
GEORGIA-PACIFIC CONSR PRODS LP-NAHEOLA is a 78 MW biomass power plant in Choctaw County, AL, operated by GEORGIA-PACIFIC CONSR PRODS LP-NAHEOLA, commissioned in 1993. Choctaw County carries high modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.7 of 5 at the 66th national percentile. Tornado is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 94th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a biomass plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
