Natural gas-fired generation is a responsive, reliable energy source that uses natural gas to drive turbines that generate electricity. Our facilities can respond almost instantly to changes in demand – ramping up during peak hours or scaling back when renewable generation increases. This flexibility makes natural gas a critical resource in maintaining grid reliability, ensuring essential services like hospitals, schools, and businesses have uninterrupted power as global energy transition efforts continue.
