Using field-theoretic methods, we calculate the internal energy for the One-Component Plasma (OCP). We go beyond the recent calculation by Brilliantov [N. Brilliantov, Contrib. Plasma Phys. 38, 489 (1998)] by including non-Gaussian terms. We show that, for the whole range of the plasma parameter Γ, the effect of the higher-order terms is small and that the final result is not improved relative to the Gaussian theory when compared to simulations.
