GOAL LINE LP, a 51 MW Natural Gas power plant in San Diego County, California. Operated by GOAL LINE LP, commissioned 1994.
How GOAL LINE LP compares
With 51 MW of capacity, GOAL LINE LP ranks 246th among the 874 operating power plants Bywatts maps in California and 91st of the 190 operating Natural Gas plants in the state. It accounts for about 0.1% of California's operating Natural Gas capacity and under 0.1% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 804th-largest of the 1,185 operating Natural Gas plants in the database. Commissioned in 1994, it is older than 60% of the 859 operating California plants with a recorded commissioning year. It shares San Diego County with 36 other operating plants, including OTAY MESA GENERATING PROJECT and CARLSBAD ENERGY CENTER.
EIA-860 lists 2 generators at the site with 51 MW of nameplate capacity, all natural gas fired combined cycle technology. Net generation was 11.4 GWh in 2024 (a 2.5% capacity factor).

Weather peril exposure
GOAL LINE LP is a 51 MW natural gas power plant in San Diego County, CA, operated by GOAL LINE LP, commissioned in 1994. San Diego County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.3 of 5 at the 33rd national percentile. Wildfire is the leading peril, rated Very High by FEMA at the 100th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a natural gas plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
