- GE to provide two 7F.05 gas turbines,
one D650 steam turbine to Carroll County Energy Project
- The combined cycle power plant will
have capacity to power the equivalent of 750,000 U.S. homes
Advanced Power has selected GE (NYSE:GE) to supply two highly
efficient and flexible 7F.05 gas turbines, one D650 steam turbine
and its patented Rapid Response combined cycle system for the 700
megawatt Carroll County Energy Project in northeast Ohio. GE has
also secured a 20-year services agreement for the project. The
combined cycle gas power plant will have the capacity to power the
equivalent of 750,000 U.S. homes.
The Carroll County Energy Project will utilize cleaner natural
gas and help serve as a replacement source for energy retirements
that have been announced in the region. GE’s advanced gas turbine
technology operates at a higher level of efficiency than coal power
to help meet lower emissions requirements in the U.S.
“We’re pleased to work with GE on the Carroll County project,”
said Advanced Power CEO Thomas Spang. “GE’s strong brand reputation
and advanced technology gas turbines made them a great fit as we
work together to provide cleaner energy for the U.S.”
The new electric generating facility will provide capacity and
energy to PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization
that helps ensure the reliability of the high-voltage electric
power system serving 61 million people in 13 states and the
District of Columbia.
“The 7F.05 is a very competitive machine, with higher efficiency
and increased power output than other F-class machines,” said Vic
Abate, president & CEO, power generation products at GE Power
& Water. “We’re pleased to work with Advanced Power to bring
more efficient, cleaner energy to the country over the lifetime of
this equipment.”
The GE gas turbines will be built at the company’s Greenville,
South Carolina, facility, and steam turbine will be built at the
company’s Schenectady, NY facility. Bechtel will build the Carroll
County Energy Project and EthosEnergy will operate the
facility.
The first of GE’s 7F.05 units are currently operating at PP12 in
Saudi Arabia.
