Goal Line LP Gas Power Plant, California, United States

Goal Line LP is a gas-fired power generation facility located in California, United States, with an operational capacity of 51.4 megawatts. The plant is owned and operated by Goal Line LP and is currently in operational status. As a gas power plant, it contributes to the regional electricity grid, supporting local energy demands. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and associated programs such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the Acid Rain Program. Gas-fired plants typically have lower emissions of sulfur dioxide (SOx) and particulate matter compared to coal-fired plants, but still require compliance with emission limits for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The plant's capacity of 51.4 MW places it in the small to medium scale range for gas power plants in the US. Environmental considerations for this facility include its proximity to populated areas in Southern California, where air quality regulations are stringent. The use of natural gas as a primary fuel results in lower CO2 emissions per megawatt-hour compared to coal, but the plant still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Its role in the local grid is significant for meeting peak demand and providing reliable power to the region.

The plant is located in California, a state with strict environmental regulations, including the California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards. Gas-fired plants like Goal Line LP produce lower emissions of SOx and NOx compared to coal plants, but still emit CO2 and other pollutants. The facility's capacity of 51.4 MW suggests a moderate environmental footprint, with potential impacts on local air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. Its operation is subject to state and federal emission limits.
