Generating units
| Unit | Technology | Nameplate | Summer | Online | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| INV1 | Solar Photovoltaic | 0.5 MW | 0.5 MW | 2013 | Operating |
| INV2 | Solar Photovoltaic | 0.5 MW | 0.5 MW | 2013 | Operating |
| INV3 | Solar Photovoltaic | 0.5 MW | 0.5 MW | 2013 | Operating |
| INV4 | Solar Photovoltaic | 0.5 MW | 0.5 MW | 2013 | Operating |
Nameplate is the maximum rated output; summer capacity is what the unit can reliably deliver on a hot day, which is typically lower.

About this data
From EIA’s inventory of operable generators, May 2026 release. Capacity is nameplate — the maximum rated output of the equipment, not what the plant actually generates over a year, which depends on how often it runs. A 2.0 MW solar plant and a 2.0 MW nuclear plant have the same entry here and produce very different amounts of electricity.
“In service since” is the earliest in-service date among the units still listed, so a site rebuilt around newer equipment can read as younger than the site itself. All North Carolina power plants · What North Carolina actually generates
