Colectric Partners' Electric Power Generation Projects

We helped or are currently helping our Initiative Members begin a variety of electric power generation projects for FMPA, MEAG Power, JEA, and NPPD as follows:

 

Beatrice Project, NPPD
2x1 Combined Cycle Facility

Colectric Partners assisted Nebraska Public Power District to build a two-on-one combined cycle facility near Beatrice, Nebraska. This new facility will consist of two GE 7EA combustion turbines and one steam turbine. The Beatrice project was completed in 2004 and the facility has a total output of 229Mw at ambient conditions.

The project is single-fueled (natural gas), includes supplemental firing, a non-reheat Siemens steam turbine and a Vogt HRSG. Contact Frank Michel for more details.

 

Brandy Branch Project, JEA
2x1 Combined Cycle Build Out

Colectric Partners previously worked with JEA to build out the Brandy Branch electric generating facility. The facility originally consisted of three GE 7FA dual-fuel combustion turbines installed in a simple cycle configuration. The build out project involved converting two of the combustion turbines to combined cycle operation by adding two supplementary-fired heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), a single reheat steam turbine-generator, steam surface condenser, cooling tower and the auxiliary equipment required to produce a fully integrated facility. The project is dual-fueled (distillate oil and natural gas) and employees reheat a GE D11 steam turbine and a Nooter Ericson HRSG.

The result is a combined cycle plant with an output of 520 MW. The third combustion turbine remains in a simple cycle configuration. For more information, contact Frank Michel.

Keyes Energy CT#4
LM 6000 Simple Cyle Unit

Colectric Partners assisted FMPA with the development and implementation of this distillate oil fueled simple cycle unit. The unit was installed on an existing site that also includes other simple cycle combustion turbines and diesel generator sets. The combustion turbine is a GE LM 6000 PC Sprint that is rated at 44MW.

Taylor Energy Center
FMPA, JEA, RCID and COT

Colectric Partners is currently working with JEA, the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA), the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID), and the City of Tallahassee to permit, design and build an 800 MW supercritical pulverized coal-fired boiler and steam turbine generator and associated electric transmission and rail facilities on a Greenfield site in Taylor County, Florida.

The scheduled commercial operation date is fall 2012. The project will be desgined to utilize a range of bituminous coals from North and South America, as well as blends of these coals with petroleum coke.

The project will incorporate state of the art emission control systems and will operate as a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) facility. Proposed BACT technologies include: Low-NOx burners, SCR, Fabric Filter Baghouse, Wet FGD and Wet ESP.

For more information contact Mike Kurtz.

Treasure Coast Energy Center, Unit 1, FMPA
1x1 Combined Cycle Facility

Colectric Partners is currently supporting FMPA with the first of potentially four combined cycle units at the greenfield site located in Ft. Pierce, Florida. The combined cycle unit consists of a GE 7FA combustion turbine with the capability of firing either natural gas or distillate fuel oil. In addition to the combustion turbine the facility includes a GE A14 steam turbine, supplementally fired Vogt HRSG.

 

Wansley, MEAG Power
2x1 Combined Cycle Facility

Colectric Partners is currently working with MEAG Power on the Wansley Combined Cycle Project. This project involves the installation of a nominal 506 Mw combined cycle facility with two GE 7FA combustion turbines. The facility is designed to permit cycling and base load operation. The Wansley facility will be installed at an existing site that also includes two coal-fired units with three nominal 500Mw combined cycle projects owned by other utilities and under construction. The site infrastructure is jointly owned and shared by all of the projects. For more information, contact Frank Michel.
