Company Summary

Description

The Pasadena Power Plant, a gas-fired cogeneration facility located in Pasadena, Texas, was one of the nation’s first merchant plants to begin operations. Three combustion turbines are routed to heat recovery steam generators, which provide steam to two steam turbines. The construction of the plant was coordinated and managed by Calpine using a general contractor. Electricity and steam is sold to Chevron Phillips Chemical Company under a long-term contract expiring in 2018. Pasadena Power Plant also uses three auxiliary boilers as a back-up system for the steam supply to Chevron Phillips. Under this agreement, up to 90 megawatts of electricity and 300,000 pounds of steam per hour are provided to Phillips’ Houston Chemical Complex. The balance of the power is managed by Calpine Commercial Operations and sold into the ERCOT market. In 2009, the plant was granted Bronze-level membership status in the Clean Texas Program, sponsored by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Clean Texas provides recognition for companies who serve as leaders among Texas workplaces that seek to achieve significant environmental results, create environmental awareness and protect air, water and land resources in Texas.
