currently planned utility-scale additions, some 28 gigawatts worth of natural gas energy capacity is expected to be added to the power grid by 2024. Texas is the largest natural gas energy producing state in the U.S.
The capacity of natural gas power plants in the United States has increased to nearly 486 gigawatts in 2020. This was nine gigawatts more than the previous year and according to Net summer capacity of utility-scale natural gas generators in the United States from 2009 to 2020 (in megawatts)
