For reference, about 10,000 100-watt lightbulbs or 5,000 computer systems would be needed to draw 1 MW. Also, 1 MW is approximately 1360 horsepower. Modern high-power diesel-electric locomotives typically have a peak power of 3–5 MW, while a typical modern nuclear power plant produces on the order of 500–2000 MW peak output.
One GGE of natural gas is 126.67 cubic feet (3.587 m 3) at standard conditions. This volume of natural gas has the same energy content as one US gallon of gasoline (based on lower heating values: 900 BTU/cu ft (9.3 kWh/m 3) of natural gas and 114,000 BTU/US gal (8.8 kWh/L) for gasoline). [22]
Oil conversion factor from m³ to bbl (or stb) is 6.28981100 Gas conversion factor from standard m³ to scf is 35.314666721 Note that the m³ gas conversion factor takes into account a difference in the standard temperature base for measurement of gas volumes in metric and imperial units.
The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power or radiant flux in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3. [1] [2] [3] It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer.

This is a list of the largest operational natural gas-fired power stations in the United States. Chehalis Power Plant, a 698 MW natural gas power plant in Chehalis, Washington. In 2019 there were around 1900 natural gas power stations in the United States, of which about 800 belonged to electric utilities. [1]
In 2022, Minnesota had a total summer capacity of 18,460 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 58,966 GWh. [2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 25.4% wind, 24.4% natural gas, 22.1% coal, 20.7% nuclear, 3.5% solar, 2% biomass (including most refuse-derived fuels), 1.2% hydroelectric, 0.1% petroleum, and 0.5 ...
