Background

In 2021 the project applied for 950 MW existing generation in the T-4 Capacity Market 2024-2025 auction, and they were listed in the final results.[8][9] This would qualify them for government subsidies to guarantee electricity supply.[10]

Spalding Energy Expansion (unit 2) is a peaking plant. It achieved commercial operations in July 2019.[11] The modern turbine is able to use natural gas mixtures with hydrogen contents of up to 30%.[12]
