Trying to use Nat Gas to fire the old coal boiler would be about half as efficient as putting in a combined cycle power turbine. A Power Turbine also generates electricity from the expansion of gases, not just heat.
Why can’t they just tear out the steam turbines and put in NG engines? Leave the dynamos there?
