As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.

All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used to generate electricity.
Yes, natural gas is used in Colorado both in private residences and businesses to generate heat and in electrical plants to generate electricity.
Coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear
Natural gas is a common example of a fossil fuel used to generate electricity. It is burned in gas turbines or combined-cycle power plants to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. Natural gas is favored for its efficiency and lower carbon emissions compared to coal and oil. Additionally, it can be used in peaking plants to meet high electricity demand.
Coal natural gas nuclear
Coal is still primarily used in the US to generate power (~47% of all electricity generated), however natural gas is being used increasingly to generate electricity (~20% of all electrical generation).
Coal, fuel oil and natural gas.
Yes. There are many power stations that use natural gas to heat water to steam and then turn turbines to generate electricity. These are considered more environmentally friendly than oil or coal powered plants.
Four things that can be used to generate electricity are fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas), renewable sources (such as solar, wind, and hydropower), nuclear power, and geothermal energy.
Natural gas is ignited and the heat is used to boild water and generate steam. Steam is then forced through impeller turbines spinning them in turn spinning Generator Coils that Produce the electricity.
