The Elk River plant is unique because of the fast-start capability of the gas turbine, which permits the Elk River plant to deliver approximately 150 MW of power to the grid within 10 minutes.
With a nominal capacity of approximately 200 MW, the plant is expected to be commissioned in May 2009. The Siemens scope of supply encompasses the SGT6-PAC-5000F gas turbine, an air-cooled generator, the exhaust stack and the plant control system. The order volume is $41 million.
