As part of the project, OG&E replaced the 1950s-era power generating units with seven modern natural gas-fired versions.

With the inclusion of new natural gas-fired units, the Mustang Energy Centre will now have the ability to start and supply electricity to the grid in less than ten minutes. Older units installed at the centre took between ten and 20 hours to do the same job.

OGE Energy chairman, president and CEO Sean Trauschke said: “We’re proud to usher in a new era of generation technology at a location that’s powering our communities and facilitating a critical role in the region’s growth and economic development.

“Replacing the units at Mustang was far less expensive than adding a new power plant to our existing fleet.”

“Mustang Energy Center is more efficient, more sustainable and more responsive. And, it maintains its legacy of providing affordable, reliable power.”
