The St. Clair Energy Centre
is a 570 MW natural gas fuelled combined cycle project under
construction in St. Clair Township near Sarnia, Ontario. The
project’s output will be sold into the power market administered by
the Independent Electricity System Operator pursuant to a clean
energy supply contract with the Ontario Power Authority.
The St. Clair Energy Centre was
selected following the Ontario Ministry of Energy's 2004 open and
competitive RFP (request for proposal) process for new, clean energy
in Ontario.
The project is comprised of two GE 7FA combustion turbines
configured in a combined cycle with two heat recovery steam
generators and two steam turbines. The St. Clair Energy Centre was
the subject of extensive environmental analysis in accordance with
the Ministry of the Environment’s guidelines. The environmental
assessment documents are available upon request. The project is
expected to commence commercial operations by the end of 2008. |
