Campbell Industrial Park is a 113 MW oil-fired power plant located in the United States, operated by Hawaiian Electric Co Inc since its commissioning in 2009. The facility generates electricity primarily from oil, contributing to the energy supply in Hawaii. Ranked as the 57th largest oil plant in the United States, Campbell Industrial Park represents 0.29% of the country's total oil capacity of 38,410 MW. The United States has 879 oil plants with a combined capacity of 38,410 MW. In comparison to the largest oil plant, Manatee at 2,951 MW, this facility is about 1/26th the size. Oil remains a significant energy source in Hawaii, where it accounts for approximately 60% of electricity generation due to limited local resources. The state's geographical isolation necessitates reliance on imported fuels. Campbell Industrial Park is located approximately 20 km west of Honolulu on the island of Oahu.

United States of America — Energy ProfileOil power generation involves the combustion of oil to produce electricity. The process typically begins with the extraction and refining of crude oil, which is then burned in a power plant to create steam. This steam drives turbines connected to generators, converting thermal energy into electrical energy. Oil power plants can vary in design, including steam turbine plants, gas turbine plants, and combined cycle plants, which utilize both gas and steam turbines to enhance efficiency. As of now, there are 2,416 oil power plants worldwide, distributed across 108 countries, with a total installed capacity of 286.9 gigawatts (GW).
