Using cleaner natural gas as fuel, the facility will not only offer lower carbon emissions than coal-powered plants, but also operate as replacement source for energy retirements in the area.
The project will expand the capacity of PJM Interconnection, which is a regional transmission unit operating high-voltage electric power system. The energy supply from the facility will increase reliability of the system that serves nearly 61 million people across 13 states and the District of Columbia.
GE will manufacture the gas turbines at its facility located in Greenville, South Carolina and the steam turbines at its Schenectady, NY facility.
