Natural Gas Power Plants in the United States: FAQ

Where can I find a map of natural gas power plants in the United States?
The map on this page. It plots every one of the 1,967 operating natural gas power plants in the US that EIA-860M reports for 2026-07, at the coordinates EIA files for each plant. It is a US map: EIA-860M covers the fifty states and DC, so a North American map including Canada and Mexico is out of scope here.
How many natural gas power plants are there in the US?
1,967, totalling 585 GW of nameplate capacity across 7,072 generating units in 49 states. That is the EIA-860M count for 2026-07; Combined cycle, combustion turbine, steam turbine, internal combustion and other gas-fired units.
Are natural gas electricity plants and gas peakers counted separately?
No — this page counts every natural gas plant that generates electricity together: combined cycle, combustion turbine, steam turbine, internal combustion and other gas-fired units. Each plant row names its own EIA technology so you can tell a baseload combined cycle from a peaker.
Is there a natural gas power plant near me?
Pick your state from the list below to get the natural gas power plants in it, with the county each one sits in. The nearest plant to any address is whichever of those is closest — this site does not read your location.
What is the largest natural gas power plant in the USA?
West County Energy Center in Florida, at 4 GW of nameplate capacity. The full list on this page is sorted largest first.
Where does this data come from, and how current is it?
The US Energy Information Administration's form EIA-860M, the preliminary monthly electric generator inventory, for 2026-07. It is a survey of plants of 1 MW and above; anything smaller is not in it, and nothing on this page is estimated to fill that gap.
