    Natural gas is the most common energy source for electricity generation in the United States


    Natural gas power plants utilize simple cycle or combined cycle energy conversion


    Combined cycle systems tend to be more efficient at converting a unit of natural gas to a unit of electricity


    EIA's Electricity Annual Survey collects a unit code identifier that groups combined cycle components into power blocks


    The largest natural gas combined cycle power plant in the United States in terms of power generation is Florida Power & Light's West County Energy Center


    The average combined-cycle generator capacity has increased since 2015, when a new type of combustion turbine became more common
