A cogeneration plant in Berlin Gas generates over 20% of world electricity Share of electricity production from gas. A gas-fired power plant, sometimes referred to as gas-fired power station, natural gas power plant, or methane gas power plant, is a thermal power station that burns natural gas to generate electricity.
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.

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 ...
This portion of the work, along with associated management cost, encompassed 152,000 direct man-hours of labor over 21 months. [9] By July 2008, construction was "two-thirds" finished. [10] The gas turbines were first fired in November 2008; [7] commercial operation, supplying power to nearly 400,000 customers, began on January 4, 2009.
We are also investors in a flexible power natural gas plant in the U.K. that once fully operational will use carbon capture technology to capture over 95% of all its generated emissions.
Alamitos Energy Center was originally built in the 1950s by Southern California Edison and consisted of seven natural gas-fired generating units that were cooled using a seawater once-through cooling system. Units 1 and 2 generated 175 MW each, units 3 and 4 generated 320 MW each, and units 5 and 6 generate 480 MW each.
Caithness Long Island Energy Center is a 350 MW natural gas fired power power plant in Yaphank, New York, on Long Island operated by Caithness Energy. It began operation in 2009 as the first major baseload plant to be built on Long Island in over 30 years, and by 2020 produced the second most net energy generated among power plants on Long ...
U.S. Interior Secretary and co-chair of a new White House energy council Doug Burgum on Friday called for every U.S. power plant to produce 10-15% more electricity to meet the growing energy needs ...
