Located in the Permian Basin region of west Texas, the plant, which became operational in 2001, supplies power to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) system.
Earlier in June 2011, Odessa Power, a subsidiary of Energy Capital Partners II, purchased the project from PSEG Power under an asset purchase agreement for a cash consideration of $335m. The plant is managed by its Odessa Power’s affiliate, EquiPower Resources.
The project was built in two phases, with phase one becoming operational in July 2001, while the second phase went into service in August 2001.
The plant, featuring environmental control technologies including NOx burner technology and Ecomax gas turbine tuning, meets very strict emissions limits for NOx, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and particulates.
