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. Gas-fired power plants generate almost a quarter of world electricity and are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. [1]
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.

This includes conversions of coal power plants to energy crops/biomass or waste [37] [38] [39] and conversions of natural gas power plants to biogas or hydrogen. [40] Conversions of coal powered power plants to waste-fired power plants have an extra benefit in that they can reduce landfilling. In addition, waste-fired power plants can be ...
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.
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 ...
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 ...
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.
Cricket Valley Energy Center is a power plant in Dover, New York, operated by EthosEnergy.The 1,100-megawatt natural gas-fired plant came online in 2020. [1]The Cricket Valley Energy Center was one of the three natural gas-fired plants in the New York metropolitan area that came online to support electricity needs before the decommissioning of the last nuclear reactor of the Indian Point ...
