The Rockwood power plant, located in Imperial County, California, has a total capacity of 49.8 MW. The plant began operating in 1979 and is owned and operated by the Imperial Irrigation District. The primary fuel source is distillate fuel oil (DFO), and the plant utilizes both natural gas-fired combustion turbine and petroleum liquids technologies. It is considered a hybrid plant.
Rockwood operates within the Imperial Irrigation District balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. The plant's latest annual generation was 6,809 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 1.6%. Rockwood ranks as the 3rd largest petroleum liquids plant out of 16 in California, and 107th out of 886 nationally. The plant consists of 2 generators.

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.
