The McClure plant, located in Stanislaus County, California, has a total capacity of 142.4 MW. It is owned and operated by the Modesto Irrigation District. The plant commenced operations in 1980 and utilizes both natural gas and petroleum liquids (DFO) as its primary fuel source, employing combustion turbine technology. It is considered a hybrid plant due to its dual-fuel capabilities.
McClure operates within the Balancing Authority of Northern California and is part of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. The plant's latest annual generation was 2,702 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 0.2%. McClure holds the ranking of 1 out of 1 among similar plants in California and 47 out of 60 nationally. The plant consists of 2 generators.

This plant's balancing authority participates in CAISO's Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). Direct nodal pricing data is not yet available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
