What type of power plant will TGE build?
TGE’s plant will be an advanced, highly efficient and tightly controlled 1100 MW, combined-cycle power plant. In a combined-cycle plant, both a gas-turbine and a steam turbine are used in an integrated thermal cycle, resulting in a very efficient system. The primary fuel will be natural gas. In addition, the plant will function in a “cogeneration” mode which means that waste heat from the power cycle will be used to generate steam which could be delivered into the steam distribution system supplying most of Manhattan’s larger buildings with steam.
