The plant will be developed and owned by a SLEC subsidiary and will be capable of supplying power to 800,000 homes within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Construction is expected to begin this summer and has an expected project completion date in 2028. Charles E. Collins, IV, Chief Executive Officer of Gemma, commented, “We’re pleased to have this opportunity to work with SLEC on this substantial project. There is undoubtedly a critical need to bring more power facilities online to support our power grids in meeting the exponentially growing demand for reliable, high-quality energy. Our team brings proven expertise and a track record of operational execution with the goal of exceeding customer expectations and delivering project success.” This combined cycle power station will consist of two Siemens Energy SGT6-9000HL gas turbines, among the most technologically advanced turbines in the world, featuring high power output, excellent fuel efficiency, and the capability to operate on hydrogen with only minor modifications to the equipment. These turbines can provide reliable power generation to the region while supporting decarbonization goals. |
