Background
The Plaquemine Cogeneration Facility has four gas-fired combustion turbine generators and one steam turbine. It began commercial operations on March 2004. Steam from the cogeneration facility, located inside Dow Chemical’s plant near Baton Rouge, LA, is supplied to Dow Chemical. Power output from the plant was to be sold to Tractebel under long-term contract. In September 2006, the plant's previous owner American Electric Power reached an agreement to sell it to the Dow Chemical Co.[7]
Unit CC-set consists of two turbines (Unit ST6 and Unit ST7). Unit ST6 is expected to become operational in July 2024 and Unit ST7 - in August 2024.[8]
