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).
