Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plants

Steam and Gas

Natural gas combined cycle plants (NGCC) provided nearly 90% of all the natural gas-fired electricity generated in the U.S. These plants have a combustion turbine plus a heat recovery system that collects the turbine’s heat exhaust.

In 2019, natural gas combined cycle plants (NGCC) provided nearly 90% of all the natural gas-fired electricity generated in the U.S. These plants have a combustion turbine plus a heat recovery system that collects the turbine’s heat exhaust. This is used to produce steam for a steam turbine to generate more electricity. Plants that only have a gas turbine with no heat recovery are called “simple-cycle” combustion turbines. Being less efficient, they are used mostly during peak-demand periods.
