Homer City Generation has announced a long-term operations and maintenance agreement with Kyuden Energy Partners.
Under the agreement, Kyuden will provide services to support safe and environmentally compliant operations at the natural gas-fired power plant. It will also support the facility’s participation in PJM Interconnection’s wholesale electricity market. The plan is for Kyuden and HCG to build and train a dedicated on-site team and put in predictive maintenance, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement practices in place at the start.
The planned 4.4 gigawatt facility in Center Township is slated to be one of the largest natural gas-fired plants in the nation when it is up and running. In a statement, Homer City Generation CEO Corey Hessen said that a project this complex and of this size “requires an operating partner with deep technical expertise and a proven track record.” Kyuden CEO Tony Dabbene said they were proud to join Homer City Generation.
Hessen will be joined today by Becky Ford from AWS on Indiana in the Morning at 8:45 PM.
