Impacts
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
Associated Electric Cooperative plans to build the Turney Energy Center near Turney, Missouri, to support the energy needs of its members across the region. The facility is designed to deliver a net output of 420 to 445 MW and will operate as a gas peaking plant — meaning it will run on an as-needed basis during periods of high electricity demand. The site, located about 3 miles southwest of Turney in Clinton County, Missouri, is currently undergoing final permitting and environmental studies. The unit will have the flexibility to use fuel oil and blend up to 30% hydrogen. Construction is expected to begin in 2025 and take approximately two years to complete. The estimated total project cost USD 520 million.[2]
