The Craig Generating Station is a 1427.6 MW coal-fired power plant located in Moffat County, Colorado. The plant, which began operating in 1979, utilizes conventional steam coal technology and subbituminous coal (SUB) as its primary fuel source. It consists of three generating units and is operated by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. Craig is the largest of three coal plants in Colorado, and ranks 23rd out of 75 coal plants nationally.
In the most recent year of data, the plant generated 3,780,112 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 30.2%. The plant operates within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region and is under the balancing authority of the Western Area Power Administration - Rocky Mountain Region. Financial data indicates an installed cost of $1054.04 per kW, as reported to FERC.

This plant is in a bilateral market territory without organized wholesale pricing. Nodal pricing data is not 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.
