Dynegy Incorporated (NYSE:DYN) (Houston) is underway with the construction of two new power plants that will bring 1,010 mega-watts (MW) into service during the 2nd quarter of 2002 in the ECAR (East Central Area Reliability) region. The larger of the two projects, the $150 million, 680MW Renaissance Power Plant, will be located in Carson City, Mich., on a 30-acre track of land north of Highway 57 on property that was originally developed by Decker Energy International back in June of 2000. The natural gas-fired plant will utilize four Westinghouse model 501F combustion turbines and will tie into Consumers Energy's transmission system through a 2-mile interconnection line. Gas connections will be provided by a 9.2-mile pipeline from Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. The second project, Foothills Generation Station, is adjacent to Dynegy's 500MW Riverside Generation, located near Louisa, Ky., that began commercial operation in June 2001. This $100 million natural gas-fired simple-cycle peaking plant consists of two Siemens Westinghouse 501F combustion turbines and brings an additional 330MW to the grid. American Electric Power will provide transmission interconnects and fuel will be provided by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company. When Renaissance and Foothills come online along with Riverside, Dynegy will have added approximately 1,510MW to the ECAR region by 2nd Quarter 2002. Steve Bergstrom, president and chief operating officer of Dynegy added, "These power projects will contribute significantly to the financial base of the communities, providing for expanded community services that will directly or indirectly benefit local residents. These projects also will contribute to the county's goal of continued growth and development, as well as provide much needed capacity to help enhance electric service reliability in the areas."
