Donald E. Felsinger, group president of Sempra Energy Global Enterprises, said "the Completion of Mesquite Power caps a very successful year in terms of our power plant construction efforts, as we completed all three projects on time and under budget."The plant, which is made up of two blocks of combined-cycle, gas-fired units, is located approximately 40 miles west of Phoenix, in Arlington, Arizona. Before Mesquite Power was built, roughly 250 mesquite trees and 25,000 cacti were removed from the area, and kept in a nursery for the duration of construction. The trees and cacti will be replanted through March of 2004, according to the company.
