GE Energy is providing two LM6000PC next generation units for the City of Riverside, two LM6000PC Sprint gas turbines for MMC Energy’s Chula Vista facility, an additional LM6000PC Sprint for MMC Energy’s Escondido energy upgrade project, four LM6000 units to the Southern California Public Power Authority for the City of Anaheim.
The company said that, the City of Riverside will receive two additional LM6000PC next generation units with emissions control modules (ECMs) for in-city generation to meet the area’s peak loads. This equipment will be installed alongside the two LM6000 units that became operational in 2006. GE Energy’s units will operate in simple-cycle mode with natural gas as the primary fuel. The 96-MW Riverside Energy Resource Center’s new units will be shipped during the fourth quarter of 2008 and installed in the first and second quarters of 2009, said GE.
Darryl Wilson, vice president of GE Energy’s aeroderivative business, said: “GE Energy’s aeroderivative business is developing and providing low-emission and power generation technologies to help our customers meet the changing power generation needs.
“California’s government mandated environmental regulations for electricity-producing resources and GE is providing aeroderivative gas turbines for four projects to help the state reach its environmental goals.”
