Frequently Asked Questions
A natural gas plant generates electricity by using natural gas as its fuel source. The gas is burned in large turbines –similar to jet engines –to produce high-pressure gases that spin the turbine blades connected to generators that produce electricity. These facilities operate as either simple-cycle plants, which generate power directly from the turbines, or combined-cycle plants, which capture additional energy from exhaust heat for higher efficiency.
Natural gas generation serves as a backbone for modern energy strategies, complementing all other generation sources to create a balanced energy portfolio. It provides the dependability needed during periods of high demand or intermittent generation.
Natural gas is a highly efficient fuel, allowing for rapid conversion to electricity with minimal waste. Advanced turbine technology in natural gas plants ensures optimal energy output, reducing costs and maximizing the utility of resources.
Natural Gas: Meeting the Demand for Reliable, Low-Cost Energy
Though renewables will continue to play a part in meeting demand, more natural gas generation will be critical in ensuring reliable and low-cost energy is available when and where organizations like yours need it.
