LIEBERMAN, a 278 MW Natural Gas power plant in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. Operated by SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER CO, commissioned 1957.
How LIEBERMAN compares
With 278 MW of capacity, LIEBERMAN ranks 25th among the 72 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Louisiana and 19th of the 41 operating Natural Gas plants in the state. It accounts for about 1.8% of Louisiana's operating Natural Gas capacity and 1.1% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 480th-largest of the 1,185 operating Natural Gas plants in the database. Commissioned in 1957, it is older than 84% of the 72 operating Louisiana plants with a recorded commissioning year. Its operator, SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER CO, runs 3 operating plants in Louisiana totaling 1,027 MW. It shares Caddo Parish with 2 other operating plants, J LAMAR STALL UNIT and ARSENAL HILL.
EIA-860 lists 2 generators at the site with 228 MW of nameplate capacity, all natural gas steam turbine technology (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 278 MW). Net generation was 184 GWh in 2024 (a 9.2% capacity factor), up 37% from 2022. Its generators came online between 1957 and 1959.
