Duke Energy North America Plans Three Merchant Plants

LCG, Jan. 14, 2002--Duke Energy North America has signed contracts with Duke/Fluor Daniel to design and construct three merchant generating plants worth a total of 2,420 megawatts of new capacity.

Jeff Faulk, president and chief executive officer of Duke/Fluor Daniel noted, "This brings our portfolio of active EPC projects to more than 16,000 megawatts of fossil-fueled power generation." The plants will be located in three disparate areas within the western states. The Luna Energy Facility will be located in Luna County N.M., and will have a nameplate capacity of 600 megawatts. In Grays Harbor County, Wash., the 620-megawatt Grays Harbor Energy Facility is planned. Moapa County, Nev., will be home to the 1,200-megawatt Moapa Energy Facility.

Each of the power plants will be a combined-cycle facility, fired by natural gas. Commercial operation of the plants, which will utilize eight General Electric-7FA combustion turbines, is expected starting in the summer of 2003.

Jim Donnell, president and chief executive officer of DENA commented that with Duke/Fluor Daniel's record, he believed that "these facilities will be providing competitively priced power to the western United States when demand peaks in the summer."
