Background
The power plant was built to accommodate future conversion to a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) configuration.[9]
In 2015, five natural gas units of 113 MW of generating capacity each came online.[10]
GE Power was selected as the turbine supplier for the gas-fired project; the company supplied 9E model gas turbines for the project.[11]The plant has 818 MW announced.
In 2019, two waste heat units of 127 MW of generating capacity each are expected to come online.[12]
In 2030, four natural gas units of 141 MW of generation capacity each are expected to come online.[12]
