Ogdensburg Power - Natural Gas Power Plant in Ogdensburg, New York

Ogdensburg Power is a natural gas-fired power generation facility located in Ogdensburg, New York, United States. With a capacity of 26.9 MW, it is a small-scale plant that contributes to the regional electricity supply. The plant is owned by AG Energy LP and is currently operational. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its associated programs such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the Acid Rain Program. As a gas-fired plant, it benefits from lower emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to coal-fired plants, aligning with modern environmental standards. Ogdensburg Power plays a role in meeting local energy demand in upstate New York. Its relatively small capacity and use of natural gas position it as a flexible generation source that can support grid stability. The plant's location near the St. Lawrence River provides access to cooling water and transportation infrastructure.

The plant's use of natural gas as primary fuel results in lower CO2, SO2, and NOx emissions per MWh compared to coal or oil. Its location in a moderately populated area of upstate New York means potential impacts on local air quality are mitigated by modern emission controls. Typical gas plants of this size use simple-cycle or combined-cycle turbines with efficient combustion.
