Technical Report · Mon May 01 04:00:00 EDT 1978

OSTI ID:6667166

A total of 520 gas turbine electric plants owned and operated by electric utilities in the United States produced 22.436 billion kilowatt-hours during 1975, down from the net 1974 production of 32.114 billion kWh. The installed capacity of these gas turbine electric plants at the end of 1975 was 44,106 megawatts, up 11.6% from the 39,522 MW in 1974. This supplement presents detailed data for 1975 on plant investment, annual production expenses, and related information for 349 of those plants 10 MW or larger for which information was available. This report provides useful information to electric utilities, manufacturers, regulatory commissions, consultants, and others interested in the electric power application of gas turbines. The total installed capacity of the 349 gas turbine electric plants in the United States included in this report was 37,232 MW at the end of 1975, and their net generation for that year totaled 16.771 billion BWh. These plants account for approximately 84.4% of the total installed gas turbine electric plant capacity and 74.8% of the net gas turbine generation in 1975. Generation and capacity of all gas turbine electric plants, and of the larger plants are listed in this report.
