Company Summary

Description

The Bethlehem Energy Center is a state-of-the-art, combined-cycle, power generating plant powered primarily by natural gas. Calpine acquired the facility in 2010 as part of its purchase of the Conectiv Energy assets. Built in 2002-03, the plant consists of eight electric generators, six driven directly by combustion turbines and two driven by steam turbines. The plant can produce 1,130 megawatts of electricity. Steam for the steam turbines is generated in heat recovery steam generators – unfired boilers that get their heat from hot gas exhaust leaving the gas turbines. The combustion turbines, which primarily burn natural gas, can also run on low-sulfur diesel fuel oil. When combined, these two power cycles (the gas turbine and the boiler/steam turbine) create a highly fuel-efficient plant, consuming significantly less fuel than needed by a traditional fossil-fired boiler/steam turbine generator plant.
