Why is Deerhaven the preferred site for a new generating unit?
The Deerhaven Generation Station is located on over 3,400 acres of land belonging to GRU. Only 1,000 acres is currently utilized, leaving plenty of land to build a new unit and still provide adequate natural buffers for the benefit of neighbors and wildlife. Also, Deerhaven is already set up to service a solid fuel unit, with an operating rail system for coal delivery and other coal handling and storage facilities. With this infrastructure in place, it would make it even more cost effective to build a second solid fuel unit at Deerhaven.
