This is just what I've heard, however I believe the idea is to use existing coal based equipment (turbines, boilers, generators) and retrofit these plants to operate on natural gas instead. I'm not overly knowledgeable of the process, but it would make sense that most of this equipment could still function with a different fuel source.
