List of natural gas power stations in the United States

This is a list of operational natural gas-fired power stations in the United States.

Chehalis Power Plant, a 698 MW natural gas power plant in Chehalis, Washington.

In 2015 there was around 1800 natural gas power stations in the United States.[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 have been opening at a fast rate along with renewables since the early 2010's quickly replacing aging, dirty, and economically unviable coal-fired power stations.
