Holland Energy Park— 149.4 MW Natural Gas
Holland Energy Park, with a capacity of 149.4 MW, ranks as the 1702nd power generation facility in the United States, a country with an extensive network of 10,047 power plants and a total capacity of 1,386,385 MW. As the 821st gas plant in the U.S., it contributes a mere 0.01% to the national energy output, reflecting the vast landscape of energy generation dominated predominantly by natural gas. Opened in 2016 and operated by the City of Holland, this facility utilizes state-of-the-art gas turbine technology to deliver efficient and flexible electricity generation, catering to the energy demands of the local community. Holland Energy Park's role is particularly significant given its positioning within a cluster of nearby plants, such as the J H Campbell plant (1560.8 MW, coal), Zeeland Generating Station (968.2 MW, gas), and 491 E 48th Street (161.7 MW, gas). These facilities collectively illustrate the variety of fuel types in the region, yet Holland Energy Park stands out for its relatively smaller capacity. The presence of larger coal and gas plants nearby emphasizes the competitive landscape of energy production in Michigan. The significance of Holland Energy Park extends beyond its immediate output; it represents a shift toward cleaner energy solutions amidst a backdrop of traditional fossil fuels, reflecting broader trends in U.S. energy policy. As the U.S. continues to transition to more sustainable energy sources, plants like Holland Energy Park are pivotal in demonstrating the feasibility and efficiency of modern gas generation technologies.
