Generating units
| Unit | Technology | Nameplate | Summer | Online | Status |

| FICT | Natural Gas Fired Combined Cycle | 192 MW | 164 MW | 2002 | Operating |
| FIST | Natural Gas Fired Combined Cycle | 126 MW | 82 MW | 2002 | 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 318 MW solar plant and a 318 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 Washington power plants · What Washington actually generates
