natural gas plants
Fuel extraction facilities
Natural gas plants are facilities that generate electricity by burning natural gas, typically using combustion turbines or combined-cycle systems.
They're cleaner-burning than coal plants and can ramp up quickly to meet demand: The region added several natural gas plants to replace aging coal facilities.
Also called gas-fired power plants.
