Die untenstehende Meldung ist eine Original-Meldung des Unternehmens. Sie ist nicht von der ECOreporter.de-Redaktion bearbeitet. Die presserechtliche Verantwortlichkeit liegt bei dem meldenden Unternehmen.
Calpine Energy Services, L.P., a subsidiary of Calpine Corporation, has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to provide Southwestern Public Services Co. (SPS), a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, with an additional 200 megawatts of capacity and energy from Calpine’s Oneta Energy Center beginning June 1, 2014, through May 31, 2019. Calpine is already providing 200 megawatts of capacity and energy from Oneta Energy Center to SPS under a seven-year PPA that began on January 1, 2012.
“We are pleased to be able to build on our customer relationship with SPS,” said Thad Hill, Calpine’s Chief Operating Officer. “This PPA provides SPS dependable, economical and environmentally responsible generation to help meet their needs while continuing to demonstrate the value of Calpine’s broader Southeast fleet.”
The clean, modern and highly efficient Oneta Energy Center, located in Coweta, Oklahoma, is a combined-cycle power plant capable of generating up to 1,134 megawatts of electricity using natural gas primarily produced in Oklahoma.
The PPA is contingent upon approval from the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission.
About Calpine
Calpine Corporation is the largest independent power producer in the U.S., with a fleet of 93 power generation plants representing more than 28,000 megawatts of generation capacity. Last year our plants generated more than 94 million megawatt hours of power for our wholesale customers in 20 states and Canada. Our 91 operating plants as well as two under construction consist primarily of natural gas-fired and renewable geothermal power plants that use advanced technologies to generate power in a low-carbon and environmentally responsible manner. Our modern, clean, efficient and cost-effective fleet stands ready to respond to the increased need for cleaner and more affordable power as the economy recovers, as new environmental rules are implemented and force older, dirtier plants to retire or reduce generation, as variable renewable power generation from wind and solar grows and with it the need for flexible natural gas generation to assure firm supply to the grid, and finally, as natural gas becomes economically competitive with coal as a fuel for power generation.
