The CPV Towantic Energy Center is a 2x1 combined-cycle project composed
of two General Electric 7HA.01 combustion turbine generators, two heat
recovery steam generators and one steam turbine generator. The facility
is primarily fueled by clean natural gas. Substantial completion was
achieved on May 7 and the facility entered commercial service May 21,
2018.
“I want to recognize and thank all of the talented women and men of
Gemma Power Systems for their outstanding contributions to this project
as we delivered another great project experience to all of our
stakeholders,” William F. Griffin, Jr., GPS Chief Executive Officer said.
“We congratulate CPV on the addition of another highly efficient, clean
energy facility to their fleet. We are pleased for the opportunity to
continue our relationship with the company and its people,” said Griffin.
The CPV Towantic Energy Center employed 700 skilled craft employees at
the height of construction and will employ 22 permanent employees.
The Towantic project is the second major facility to be completed by
Gemma for CPV – the first was an 800 MW facility in Palm Springs, CA in
2013. The Towantic project is part of 3,000 MW under construction by GPS
in five states.
