PG&E Repowering Project Set to Begin

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Barot Casha  
Wartsila North America Inc. began detailed engineering and manufacturing on a 163 MWe gas-fired power plant for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E). Plant construction could begin later this year and be completed in the fall of 2009. Construction cost is estimated at $250 million, or around $1,500/kW. Coming to PG&E: A Wartsila 18V50DF dual-fuel engine.

In April 2006 Wartsila was selected to deliver the power plant to PG&E. The project has been subject to the approval of the California Public Utility Commission and environmental permits issued by the California Energy Commission. All approvals have now been received.
