Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year Retired year
Unit 1 operating[2][3][4][5] gas[6] 780[6] combined cycle[6] not found 2023[7]
Unit 3 & 4 operating[8][5] gas[8] 766[8] combined cycle[8] no 2001[8]

CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background

In 2019 Edison and Ansaldo Energia revealed plans to repower the plant.[9] Once constructed, the new 780 MW turbine will replace the existing 766 MW unit. Unit 3 will be dismantled while Unit 4 will remain on reserve, operating in the event the new combined cycle is halted for maintenance.[10]

In 2020 GE sent the new gas turbine to the plant site.[11] Google Earth imagery also reveals construction has begun in 2020.
