Mulberry Cogeneration Facility is a 125.3 MW gas-fired power plant located in the United States, operated by Northern Star Generation Services Co LLC since it was commissioned in 1994. The facility primarily uses natural gas, with oil as a secondary fuel source, contributing to the overall gas generation capacity in the country. It ranks as the 864th largest gas plant in the United States. With a capacity of 125.3 MW, it represents 0.02% of the total gas capacity of 592,244 MW. The United States has 1,883 gas plants with a combined capacity of 592,244 MW. Compared to the largest gas plant, West County Energy Center at 4,263 MW, Mulberry Cogeneration Facility is approximately 1/34th the size. Natural gas is a key element of the U.S. energy mix, supplying around 40% of electricity generation. The Mulberry Cogeneration Facility contributes to energy reliability while utilizing a mix of fuels. It is situated in Florida, approximately 50 miles southwest of Orlando.

United States of America — Energy ProfileGas power generation is a significant component of the global energy landscape, characterized by the use of natural gas to produce electricity. This process typically involves either gas turbines or combined cycle gas plants. In a gas turbine, compressed air is mixed with natural gas and ignited, producing high-temperature exhaust gases that spin a turbine connected to a generator. Combined cycle plants enhance efficiency by utilizing both gas and steam turbines. After the gas turbine generates electricity, the waste heat is used to produce steam, which drives a steam turbine, thereby maximizing energy extraction from the fuel.
