OSTI ID:6169578

A total of 520 gas-turbine electric plants owned and operated by electric utilities in the United States produced 23.580 billion kWh during calendar year 1976, up from the net 1975 production of 22.436 billion kWh. The installed capacity of these gas-turbine electric plants at the end of 1976 was 46,576 MW, up 5.6% from the 44,106 MW in 1975. The total installed capacity of the 354 gas turbine electric plants in the United States included in this report was 37,891 MW at the end of 1976, and their net generation for that year totaled 16.838 billion kWh. These plants account for approximately 81.4% of the total installed gas-turbine electric plant capacity and 71.4% of the net gas-turbine generation in 1976. Generation and capacity data of all gas-turbine electric plants, and of the larger plants listed in this report are tabulated.
