What Is Natural Gas Power?
Harnessing natural gas for electricity is a proven, scalable solution—often used where consistency, flexibility, and grid support are critical.
Why Choose Natural Gas?
Proven Technology with Flexible Integration
Easily integrated into hybrid systems with renewables or storage.
Grid Stability and Peak Shaving
Excellent for supplementing renewable sources and minimizing blackouts.
Lower Emissions than Coal
While not carbon-free, natural gas burns cleaner than other fossil fuels, reducing NOx, SOx, and particulates.
High Capacity Output
Systems can range from small distributed units to utility-scale generation.
Fast-Start Capability
Ideal for backup or peaking power—plants ramp up in minutes when demand spikes.
Thermal Power Generation
Natural gas turbines and engines convert chemical energy into electricity through combustion.
CASE STUDY
Fort Spunky
Data Center
432 MW
Dallas, Texas remains a leading data center market due to its business-friendly policies and lack of state and local sales taxes. The Pacifico site, strategically located in Hood County, is as close to city center as can reasonably be achieved in a NAAQS attainment area. The site also offers abundant access to natural gas, water and fiber connectivity.
Ideal Applications for Natural Gas Power
Natural gas generation is suited for sectors needing continuous, high-volume power or reliable backup. It bridges energy demand with flexible, dispatchable generation.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems
Increases overall energy efficiency by capturing and reusing waste heat for heating, cooling, or steam processes.
Remote Microgrids
Powers isolated facilities or communities where grid access is limited or unavailable, often in hybrid setups.
Peaking Plants in Congested Grids
Responds rapidly to demand spikes, helping utilities stabilize local grids and prevent blackouts.
Hospitals and Critical Infrastructure
Ensures life-saving systems stay powered through outages or disruptions with fast-start, fail-safe backup.
Data Centers Requiring High Uptime
Delivers reliable backup and primary power for always-on digital infrastructure and critical computing loads.
Heavy Industrial Facilities
Supports energy-intensive operations such as refining, chemicals, and manufacturing with stable, high-volume power.

Natural Gas FAQs
Natural Gas Power Solutions
Is natural gas a long-term energy solution?
Natural gas plays a key transitional role. It supports grid reliability and decarbonization efforts while renewable technologies continue to scale.
What infrastructure is required to support a natural gas system?
Depending on the site, systems may need gas pipelines, onsite storage, and appropriate permits. We help assess and design for infrastructure needs.
Can natural gas systems be integrated with renewables or storage?
Yes. Natural gas is often used in hybrid systems to stabilize output, ensure grid reliability, and improve overall energy system efficiency.
How does natural gas compare to renewable energy sources?
While not renewable, natural gas offers firm, dispatchable power—making it a reliable partner to intermittent sources like wind and solar.
What are the advantages of using natural gas for power generation?
Natural gas provides reliable, on-demand power with lower emissions than coal or oil, making it ideal for both baseload and peaking needs.
