At 596.7 MW, Marsh Run Generation Facility is well above the median gas plant in United States of America (121.2 MW). Technically it is described as OCGT. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
