Project Details

Table 2: Unit-level details

Unit name Status Fuel(s) Capacity (MW) Technology CHP Start year Retired year
Gas Unit 1 operating[3] gas[3] 150 MW[3][4] integrated solar combined cycle[5] - - -
Solar Thermal Unit operating[6] solar[6] 20 MW[6] integrated solar combined cycle[5] - 2011[7] -

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. More information on the solar thermal component of this project can be found at csp.guru.
