Natural gas power stations opened at a fast rate throughout the 2010s, quickly replacing aging, dirty, and economically unviable coal-fired power stations, but by the early 2020s new plants were mostly wind and solar with only Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania continuing to open significant numbers of gas plants.

The power plant features three 1,250MW multi-shaft combined cycle gas turbine generating units on a 220-acre (89 ha) site. The facility has been online since 2009, with all three generators reaching completion in 2011. [1] [2] It is the largest natural gas power plant in the United States.
Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear fuel, natural gas, oil shale and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides and the wind. Only the most significant fuel source is listed for power stations that run on multiple sources.
Cherokee Generating Station is a natural gas-fired power plant in Adams County, Colorado, about 5 miles (8.0 kilometers) north of downtown Denver. [1] Cherokee currently has a nameplate capacity of 1006.4 megawatts , and a net summer capacity of 886 megawatts, [ 2 ] making it the largest power plant in Adams County, and the second largest ...
The following page lists power stations that run on natural gas, a non-renewable resource. Stations that are only at a proposed stage or decommissioned, and power stations that are smaller than 3000 MW in nameplate capacity, are not included in this list. Other power stations may be found in national lists linked from the end of this article.
Map of all utility-scale power plants. This article lists the largest electricity generating stations in the United States in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear, natural gas, oil shale, and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat ...
Situated just 12 miles from one of the world’s most dangerous borders separating India and Pakistan, the park will cover more than 200 square miles and be the planet’s largest power plant ...
Gateway Generating Station is on the southern shore of the San Joaquin River, in Antioch, and is one of more than ten fossil-fuel power plants in Contra Costa County. Construction, which cost $386 million, began in 2001; the station began delivering power to customers in 2009. Its nominal capacity is 530 MW, with a peak capacity of 580 MW.
