The cogeneration project featuring GE technology is owned by affiliates of NRG Energy (50%) and a partnership between MSD Capital and Paragon Energy Holdings (50%).
Earlier, GE supplied two durable Frame 6B gas turbines, and a GE SAXC steam turbine, which provides high reliability and sustained high efficiency to the project, which started commercial operations in 1991.
The project is equipped with heat recovery steam generators that will enable it to economically produce process-critical steam to adjacent chemical manufacturing and food processing plants.

The project has been supplying 90MW of the total output to Nevada Power, a subsidiary of NV Energy, under a power purchase agreement, while separate contracts are in place for the steam generated at the plant. Both contracts run through April 2022.
