Orion Power to Buy Columbia Electric Corp.

LCG, Oct. 3, 2000Orion Power Holdings Inc., an independent power producer created in the restructuring of Baltimore Gas & Electric Co., said yesterday it will acquire Columbia Electric Corp., the electric generation subsidiary of Columbia Energy Group., for $200 million in cash.

The two under construction are the Liberty Electric project, a 568 megawatt combined-cycle plant in Eddystone, Pa., and the 500 megawatt simple-cycle Ceredo Electric Generation Station in Wayne County, W.Va.

Among the plants in an advance stage of development are the 1,650 megawatt combined-cycle Kelson Ridge Generating Station in Charles County, Md., and the 500 megawatt simple-cycle Henderson Generating Station in Henderson County, Ky.

Ceredo is scheduled to begin commercial operation early next year, Liberty in early 2002, and Kelson and Henderson in 2004.
