The facility is expected to begin commercial operation in 2013 and will supply energy to the San Francisco Bay region.

As part of the plant’s arsenal of technologies to improve overall energy efficiency and reduce its environmental footprint, GE is supplying lead contractor Bechtel with the ZLD system for onsite wastewater treatment and recycling.

The ZLD equipment is scheduled to be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012.

The RCEC project is jointly owned by affiliates of Calpine Corporation and GE Energy Financial Services.
