List of natural gas power stations in the United States explained

This is a list of the largest operational natural gas-fired power stations in the United States.In 2019 there were around 1900 natural gas power stations in the United States, of which about 800 belonged to electric utilities.[1] In 2019, these natural gas plants produced 38% of the United States electricity production, the highest percentage of any source above coal, nuclear and renewables.[2] 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.[3]
