Gas power plant in Utah, United States of America. Approximate location 40.8869, -111.8853.
GasUtahUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported
Bountiful City is a 30 MW gas power plant in Utah, United States of America. It is operated by City of Bountiful. Based on reported annual generation of 16 GWh, it can supply roughly 4,600 homes. It ranks #3249 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2010, it is around 16 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 44,174 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 10,297 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 40.0% of United States of America's electricity; the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 59% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 83/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
A gas turbine here also runs ~0% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #1224 largest gas power plant of 1818 in United States of America by capacity.
United States of America has 1818 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 546,436 MW of capacity.
