ROSEVILLE, a 55 MW Natural Gas power plant in Placer County, California. Operated by CITY OF ROSEVILLE - (CA), commissioned 1986.
How ROSEVILLE compares
With 55 MW of capacity, ROSEVILLE ranks 233rd among the 874 operating power plants Bywatts maps in California and 87th 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 794th-largest of the 1,185 operating Natural Gas plants in the database. Commissioned in 1986, it is older than 72% of the 859 operating California plants with a recorded commissioning year. Its operator, CITY OF ROSEVILLE - (CA), runs 2 operating plants in California totaling 219 MW. It shares Placer County with 17 other operating plants, including ROSEVILLE ENERGY PARK and MIDDLE FORK.
EIA-860 lists 2 generators at the site with 66 MW of nameplate capacity, all natural gas fired combustion turbine technology (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 55 MW). Net generation was 6.9 GWh in 2024 (a 1.2% capacity factor).

Weather peril exposure
ROSEVILLE is a 55 MW natural gas power plant in Placer County, CA, operated by CITY OF ROSEVILLE - (CA), commissioned in 1986. Placer County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.3 of 5 at the 7th national percentile. Wildfire is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 96th 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.
Placer County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wildfire | Relatively High | 96th | 4.8 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Earthquake | Relatively Moderate | 86th | 4.5 of 5 | 0.03 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively High | 69th | 3.8 of 5 | 1.1 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Low | 61st | 3.4 of 5 | 4.3 |
| Tornado | Very Low | 7th | 1.3 of 5 | 0.14 |
| Strong wind | Relatively Low | 3rd | 1.1 of 5 | 0.07 |
| Lightning | Relatively High | 2nd | 1.1 of 5 | 14.2 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Low | 1st | 1.0 of 5 | 27.2 |
| Hail | Very Low | 1st | 1.0 of 5 | 0.16 |
Perils not assessed in Placer County
These perils carry no usable National Risk Index figure for this county, so they are excluded from the scoring rather than scored zero. A zero would claim the peril was assessed and found benign.
| Peril | Why it is not scored |
|---|---|
| Hurricane | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
| Coastal flooding | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
| Ice storm | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
