Calpine Unit Plans 800 Megawatt Georgia Plant

LCG, Jan. 18, 2001Calpine Corp. said yesterday its SkyGen Energy unit plans to build an 800 megawatt natural gas-fired cogeneration plant in Augusta, Ga. The facility will provide thermal energy to DSM Chemicals North America Inc. and sell electric power in the regional wholesale market.

Steam from the new facility will replace thermal energy DSM generates from on-site boilers. The chemical firm will retain the boilers for secondary and backup needs and will supply the Augusta Energy Center with condensate and makeup water.

The facility will be located on about 25 acres of land leased from DSM adjacent to the chemical plant, Calpine said.

Calpine will manage engineering and design, construction, and operations of the project as it movespast the development stage. The construction of the cogeneration facility is expected to begin in thespring, but now completion target was announced.

Bill Price, president of DSM, said "The Augusta Energy Center will be one of the most efficient power plants built in Georgia. It will provide important energy cost savings for DSM while safeguarding the environment. During normal operations, air emissions from the Augusta site will be reduced as a result of this facility."
