The Power Generation Facility Steam Cycle Modifications project increases production capacity to 36 MW.
The Project includes replacement of major equipment and a state-of the-art Distributed Control System. Startup of the steam cycle portion of the CCPP is anticipated later this year. Once completed, JWPCP will be capable of operating independent of the local power grid and exporting surplus power, thus furthering the Districts’ commitment to protecting public health and the environment.
