Potential emissions and details on the project's status and permit applications can be viewed on Oil and Gas Watch page here.
The Oil and Gas Watch database, created by Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), is a free, public-facing tool designed to track the rapid expansion of fossil fuel and petrochemical infrastructure in the United States. Oil and Gas Watch maps new and expanding oil, gas, and petrochemical infrastructure projects across the country and monitors each project’s construction status so the public can stay informed about major oil and gas developments being proposed in their communities. We track key environmental approvals companies must obtain before starting construction or operations and provide access to thousands of government records and permits unearthed by our analysts.

Background
Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC) held a ceremonial groundbreaking in October 2024, officially marking the start of construction for two new gas turbines at the Anadarko plant. The new units were named Roulet 12 and 13 in honor of WFEC CEO Gary Roulet. The two gas turbines will replace three aging steam turbine units (units 1-3 with the installed capacity below GEM's threshold of 50 MW) that have served for over 60 years, lowering maintenance costs and improving reliability.[9] GE Vernova is supplying the two aeroderivative LM6000VPC Sprint units. The new units are expected t be commissioned in 2026.[10]
