Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The U.S. is expected to see 6% growth in natural gas-fired capacity through 2025, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), with many of the planned capacity additions located close to major shale plays in the Appalachia region and Texas, as well as Illinois and Florida. Total U.S. capacity is expected to reach about 516.4 gigawatts (GW) over the next four years, up from 489.1 GW in August 2021, according to the EIA. Industrial Info is tracking $27.7 billion in active natural gas-fired power-generation projects in the Appalachian states, Texas, Illinois and Florida, about $7.9 billion of which already is under construction.

The Appalachia region's Marcellus and Utica shale plays, which stretch across Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, have led the growth in U.S. natural gas production over the past several years, accounting for 34% of U.S. dry natural gas production in the first half of 2021, according to the EIA. Among the power projects under construction in this region is Apex Power LLC's (Mooresville, Indiana) $1.6 billion Guernsey Power Station near Byesville, Ohio, a natural gas-fired, combined-cycle (NGCC) facility that is designed to generate 1,875 megawatts (MW). The plant is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2022, according to its owners. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can learn more from a detailed project report.
Renovo Rail Industries LLC (Renovo, Pennsylvania) is preparing to begin construction on its $800 million Renovo Energy Center in Renovo, Pennsylvania, at a former railyard site, in the first quarter of 2022. Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Resources approved a construction plan for the 1,240-MW NGCC facility in May. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's project report.
Several gas-fired power-generation projects in the Appalachia region were delayed indefinitely or placed on hold during 2020's surge in COVID-19 infections, but have since returned to development. These include Ohio State University's (Columbus, Ohio) $277.7 million combined heat and power plant at its Columbus campus, which began construction in May. The 105.5-MW project is expected to finish construction in the first quarter of 2023. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's project report.
Elsewhere in the Appalachia region, Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE:DUK) (Charlotte, North Carolina) is taking part in one of today's most prominent trends in U.S. energy development: the conversion of coal-fired to gas-fired capacity. The company is at work on a $180 million conversion of its Marshall Power Station in Terrell, North Carolina, from coal to gas generation, with the 2,000-MW project set to wrap up toward the end of December. The conversion has been in development since late 2019. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's project report.
Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania together account for 43% of the natural gas-fired capacity planned to be brought online between 2022 and 2025. Illinois leads among these states with 3.8 GW worth of additions; like Michigan, it benefits from pipeline access to natural gas from Ohio and Pennsylvania's Marcellus and Utica shale plays. Two of the largest projects under construction in Illinois are Competitive Power Ventures Incorporated's (Braintree, Massachusetts) $1.1 billion Three Rivers Energy Center in Morris, which is expected to generate 1,146 MW, and J-Power's (Tokyo, Japan) $1 billion Jackson Generating Station in Elwood, Illinois, which is expected to generate 1,100 MW from an NGCC setup. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Three Rivers and Jackson projects.
After Illinois, Florida has the most natural gas-fired capacity slated to be brought online before 2025, at 3.2 GW, according to the EIA. Like Illinois, Florida does not produce significant amounts of natural gas, but benefits from an ever-expanding pipeline network that services its many gas-fired plants. Five new gas-fired plants are set to begin commercial operations in Florida over the next four years, including Seminole Electric Cooperative Incorporated's (Tampa, Florida) $945 million Seminole Generating Station in Palatka, which is expected to generate 1,028 MW from an NGCC setup. The project began construction in March 2020 and is expected to wrap up toward the end of 2022. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's project report.
Texas leads the U.S. in overall natural gas production, most of which comes from the Haynesville and Eagle Ford formations and multiple shale formations in the Permian Basin, according to the EIA. Nearly 71 GW of gas-fired capacity is operational across Texas, with another 2.8 GW slated to be brought online before 2025. This includes ProEnergy Services' (Houston, Texas) $300 million Braes Bayou Peaking Power Station in Thompsons, Texas, which is designed to generate 288 MW during periods of high (or "peaking") demand. The project, which is managed by ProEnergy subsidiary WattBridge Energy LLC, began site preparation in May and is expected to wrap up in the fourth quarter of 2022. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's project report.
In addition to the abovementioned capital-spending projects, Industrial Info is tracking more than 320 maintenance-related projects at gas-fired power plants in the Appalachian states, Texas, Illinois and Florida, with a total investment value of more than $1.7 billion.
