Background
Located in the PJM Interconnection, the Hunterstown combined-cycle power plant delivers electricity to the PJM 500kV grid. The facility, which was built in 2003, provides enough energy to supply more than 600,000 households. The power plant is equipped with three GE 7FB.04 combustion turbines and one GE Electric D11 steam turbine. Platinum Equity acquired the gas-fired power plant from GenOn, a unit of NRG Energy, in 2018. In January 2025, LS Power agreed to buy the Hunterstown power plant and related assets from an affiliate of Platinum Equity.[3]
In March 2025, LS Power announced planned capacity uprates at several of its power stations, including the Hunterstown power station.[4]
