190 MW combined cycle power plant in Old Harbor Bay.

Description

The facility is a Chilled Seawater Combined Cycle Power Production Plant with a production capacity of 190 MW, which will be built on the coastal property of Old Harbor Bay (76 km west of Kingston). The facility will have dual combustion capacity using automotive diesel oil as emergency reserve fuel when natural gas is not available. The power will be delivered at 138 KV to an existing distribution power line next to the Plant.

The installation will consist of three natural gas turbine generators, three natural gas recovery steam generators, a steam turbine generator, a water cooled condenser, and related auxiliary equipment.
