The story behind this New York power plant
New York has 100 natural gas plants in this category, and the Indeck Corinth Energy Center in Corinth, Saratoga County, ranks #23 of 100 by 2024 electricity produced. It began operating in 1995 and uses a natural gas fired combined cycle design, which means it captures heat left over from burning gas to make extra power from the same fuel.
Its 2 generators have a capacity of 147.0 MW, the most power the plant can send out at one moment (a megawatt is about what a few hundred homes use at once). In 2024 it produced 422.3 gigawatt-hours, which is about 42,000 homes’ worth of electricity over the year. The plant draws water from the Hudson River.
Generation profile
The plant can produce 147 megawatts of electricity at once, across 2 generating units. In 2024 it produced 422.3 gigawatt-hours in total, which works out to about 33% of what it could have produced running flat out all year — the pattern of a plant that runs through much of the year.
