ROBERT S KERR, a 110 MW Hydro power plant in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. Operated by USCE-TULSA DISTRICT, commissioned 1971.
How ROBERT S KERR compares
With 110 MW of capacity, ROBERT S KERR ranks 42nd among the 73 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Oklahoma and 4th of the 11 operating Hydro plants in the state. It accounts for about 10% of Oklahoma's operating Hydro capacity and 0.4% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 162nd-largest of the 1,243 operating Hydro plants in the database. Commissioned in 1971, it is older than 66% of the 72 operating Oklahoma plants with a recorded commissioning year. Its operator, USCE-TULSA DISTRICT, runs 7 operating plants in Oklahoma totaling 514 MW. It shares Sequoyah County with one other operating plant, TENKILLER FERRY.
EIA-860 lists 4 generators at the site with 110 MW of nameplate capacity, all conventional hydroelectric technology. Net generation was 370 GWh in 2024 (a 38% capacity factor), up 70% from 2022.

Weather peril exposure
ROBERT S KERR is a 110 MW hydro power plant in Sequoyah County, OK, operated by USCE-TULSA DISTRICT, commissioned in 1971. Sequoyah County carries elevated modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.3 of 5 at the 58th national percentile. Ice storm is the leading peril, rated Very High by FEMA at the 97th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a hydro plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
