A natural gas pipeline with a flow rate of 1,000 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) delivers approximately 304,000 MWh/day of energy. After accounting for a 3% loss over 100 miles, the pipeline delivers 294,880 MWh/day to a power plant. At 60% efficiency, the power plant generates 176,928 MWh/day of electricity, which equates to an average power output of 7,372 MW.
A 500 kV power line can typically transmit about 1,000 MW of power. Therefore, the power generated by the natural gas pipeline could fully power seven 500 kV power lines at full capacity.
