Muskogee Mill is a 114 MW gas-fired power plant located in the United States, operated by Georgia-Pacific Consumer Operations LLC since its commissioning in 1980. The plant uses natural gas and coal as fuel sources to generate electricity. It ranks as the 901st largest gas plant in the United States. With 114 MW, it represents 0.02% of the country's 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, Muskogee Mill is approximately 1/37th the size. Natural gas is a significant part of the energy mix in the United States, providing about 40% of the electricity generation. The facility is located in Oklahoma, approximately 90 miles east of Oklahoma City, in a region with access to both gas and coal resources.

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.
