Natural Gas Energy

A supply line carries natural gas fuel to the facility. Inside the facility, natural gas is used to rapidly spin a turbine and generate electricity.

Steam Energy

The facility recovers heat from the first turbine and uses it to create steam that powers a second turbine, generating more electricity.

Delivering Electricity

Energy from both turbines flow to a transformer and is delivered through the electric grid to power homes and businesses.

Facility Components

Additional components associated with the project will aid in the generation and distribution of electricity.

  • Transmission Line

    Approximately four-mile 345kV transmission line parallel to existing right-of-way.
  • Natural Gas Pipeline

    Approximately seven-mile natural gas pipeline using existing right-of-way.
  • Substation

    Approximately 4.3-acre substation associated with the transmission line.
