Texas, California Lead U.S. Natural Gas-Fired Power Maintenance Projects in Second-Quarter 2019

SUGAR LAND--March 20, 2019--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--More than 60% of U.S. power-generation capacity installed in 2018 was fueled by natural gas, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Almost 90% of the gas-fired capacity added last year is attributed to natural gas-fired, combined-cycle (NGCC) generators, widely considered the most efficient type. The growing demands on gas-fired power plants are certain to keep scheduled maintenance at the forefront of plant owners' concerns. Industrial Info is tracking about 140 maintenance-related projects at U.S. natural gas-fired units that are set to kick off in the second quarter.

Within this article: Details on some of the largest maintenance plants at natural gas plants that are set to begin from April through June, including those from companies such as Calpine Corporation, General Electric (NYSE:GE), Berkshire Hathaway Incorporated (NYSE:BRK.A), Xcel Energy Incorporated (NASDAQ:XEL), Riverstone Holdings LLC and Dominion Energy Incorporated (NYSE:D).
