Jones Street is a 130 MW oil-fired power plant located in the United States, operated by Omaha Public Power District since its commissioning in 1973. The facility contributes to the oil-based energy generation in the region. It ranks as the 51st largest oil plant in the United States. With 130 MW, it constitutes 0.34% of the country's total oil capacity of 38,410 MW. The United States has 879 oil plants with a combined capacity of 38,410 MW. Compared to the largest oil plant, Manatee at 2,951 MW, Jones Street is approximately 1/23rd the size. Oil remains a smaller segment of the U.S. energy mix, accounting for about 2% of total electricity generation. The reliance on oil has decreased over the years, with a shift towards more sustainable energy sources. Jones Street is located in Nebraska, approximately 50 miles north of Kansas City.

United States of America — Energy ProfileOil power generation involves the combustion of oil to produce electricity. The process typically begins with the extraction and refining of crude oil, which is then burned in a power plant to create steam. This steam drives turbines connected to generators, converting thermal energy into electrical energy. Oil power plants can vary in design, including steam turbine plants, gas turbine plants, and combined cycle plants, which utilize both gas and steam turbines to enhance efficiency. As of now, there are 2,416 oil power plants worldwide, distributed across 108 countries, with a total installed capacity of 286.9 gigawatts (GW).
