Biomass Power Plants in the United States: FAQ
- Where can I find a map of biomass power plants in the United States?
- The map on this page. It plots every one of the 585 operating biomass power plants in the US that EIA-860M reports for 2026-07, at the coordinates EIA files for each plant. It is a US map: EIA-860M covers the fifty states and DC, so a North American map including Canada and Mexico is out of scope here.
- How many biomass power plants are there in the US?
- 585, totalling 13 GW of nameplate capacity across 1,796 generating units in 50 states. That is the EIA-860M count for 2026-07; Wood and wood waste, landfill gas, municipal solid waste and other waste biomass.
- Is there a biomass power plant near me?
- Pick your state from the list below to get the biomass power plants in it, with the county each one sits in. The nearest plant to any address is whichever of those is closest — this site does not read your location.
- What is the largest biomass power plant in the USA?
- Mansfield Mill in Louisiana, at 172 MW of nameplate capacity. The full list on this page is sorted largest first.
- Where does this data come from, and how current is it?
- The US Energy Information Administration's form EIA-860M, the preliminary monthly electric generator inventory, for 2026-07. It is a survey of plants of 1 MW and above; anything smaller is not in it, and nothing on this page is estimated to fill that gap.
