Osprey Energy Center

Company Summary

Description

The Osprey Energy Center is a natural gas-fired, combined-cycle generating facility located in Auburndale, Fla. The site's major equipment includes two combustion turbines that are routed to two heat recovery steam generators, which provide steam to one steam turbine. The construction of the plant was coordinated and managed by Calpine using a contractor. The Osprey Energy Center was the first and only advanced, combined-cycle power plant to be built and wholly owned by an independent power producer (IPP) in peninsula Florida. The project achieved this distinction because Calpine was the first IPP to obtain approval under the state's strict Power Plant Siting Act. The facility receives a substantial portion of its water needs from the City of Auburndale water treatment plant. This "reclaimed water" reduces the plant's ground water needs and subsequent impact on the local aquifers.
