Logan City is a gas-fired power generation facility located in Logan, Utah, United States. With a capacity of 15.9 MW, it is a small-scale plant serving the local community. The facility is owned by the City of Logan and is currently operational. The plant operates on natural gas, a fuel type that produces lower CO2 emissions compared to coal but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. As a US-based facility, it must comply with the Clean Air Act (CAA) and related regulations such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). These regulations set limits on emissions of SO2, NOx, and other pollutants. Logan City plays a role in meeting the electricity needs of the surrounding area. Its relatively small capacity suggests it may serve as a peaking plant or support local distribution. The plant's environmental impact is moderated by its use of natural gas and adherence to federal emission standards.
Environmental context
The plant's use of natural gas results in lower SOx and NOx emissions compared to coal-fired plants, but CO2 emissions remain a concern. Located in Logan, Utah, the facility is in a region with growing energy demand. Its small capacity (15.9 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint, but proximity to populated areas may require careful management of local air quality under the Clean Air Act.
