From 2024 through 2025, the EIA expects a total of 7.7 GW of U.S. gas-fired capacity to enter service.

Industrial Info is tracking nearly $2 billion worth of U.S. gas-fired power-generation projects set to be completed before the end of the year, and more than $15.6 billion worth currently expected to wrap up from 2024 through 2025. The bulk of the gas-fired unit additions through 2025 are combined-cycle, as they are highly efficient and designed to run for extended periods of time, according to the EIA.
