Description

Power plant capacity data and map are from the California Energy Commission.

The CEC licenses thermal power plants 50 megawatts (MW) and greater and

the infrastructure serving the plants such as electric transmission lines, fuel

supply lines, and water pipelines. These licensed plants are referred to as

jurisdictional plants. This map depicts the capacity of CEC-licensed

(jurisdictional) natural gas power plants and non-jurisdictional natural gas

plants. Counties without symbols had no natural gas power plants. Data is from

2024 and is current as of May 29, 2025. Projection: NAD 1983 (2011) California

(Teale) Albers (Meters). For more information, contact John Hingtgen at
