Overview
Osprey Point RES is a 13.2 MW gas power plant in Indiana, USA, owned by Hoosier Energy R E C Inc. It provides electricity to the local grid.
Osprey Point RES is a gas-fired power generation facility located in Indiana, United States. With a capacity of 13.2 MW, it is a small-scale plant within the US power generation sector. The plant is owned by Hoosier Energy R E C Inc and is currently operational. The facility operates on natural gas, a fuel with lower carbon intensity compared to coal but still subject to emissions regulations. As a US-based plant, it must comply with the Clean Air Act (CAA) and related programs such as the Acid Rain Program and CSAPR, which set limits on SO2, NOx, and other pollutants. The plant's small capacity suggests it may serve local or community-scale needs. Osprey Point RES contributes to the regional energy mix, supporting grid stability and local electricity demand. Its gas-fired technology offers flexibility and lower emissions than older coal plants, aligning with broader trends in US power generation toward cleaner energy sources.
Environmental context
The plant's gas-fired operation produces lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions compared to coal, but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Located in a rural area of Indiana, its environmental impact is moderated by distance from major population centers. The facility's small capacity limits its overall footprint, but compliance with US EPA regulations ensures adherence to emission standards.
