Gut Rehab Turns South Jersey Cogen Plant into Electricity Market Gem

Five years of essentially no maintenance investment or capital improvement at the Eagle Point Power Generation facility in Westville, NJ, had clearly taken its toll by the time Rockland Capital acquired the facility in April 2012. Today, Eagle Point expects the plant capacity factor to approach 50% once the last of the capital improvements are finished. Those improvements include everything from a punch list of 146 maintenance activities as well as capital upgrades, including a new steam turbine/generator, wet compression and fogging, and a complete gas turbine optimization and augmentation package which helped avoid the $11-million cost of an SCR.

First 7FA.05 Gas Turbines go Commercial at Xcel Cherokee

Two new 2 × 1 combined cycles with the latest 7FA.05 gas turbine technology from GE came on line at Xcel Energy’s 569-MW unit at the existing Cherokee Generating Station in Denver in August. Commissioning came just three months after first fire in May, which is significant because of the summer peaking period and the location of Cherokee and its importance to the Denver grid.
