The Mystic Generating Station was a power station in the state of Massachusetts (on the border between Everett and Boston) which had the highest nameplate capacity of any station in the state.[2] It was capable of burning both natural gas and petroleum, but mostly burned natural gas.[1]

As of 2024 the plant consisted of eight separate generating units: Mystic 8 and 9 were combined cycle natural gas units with a total of four combustion turbines and two steam turbines which could produce 1414 MW total; Mystic 7 was a natural gas or petroleum unit which produced 576 MW; and Mystic Jet was a small petroleum fueled unit which produced 8.6 MW in periods of high demand.[1] Mystic Generating Station was retired on June 1, 2024.[3]
