Satsop
Combustion
Turbine Project The
Satsop Combustion Turbine Project consists of two
combustion turbine generators on a "two on one" configuration with
a single steam turbine generator. The Project will produce a nominal output
of approximately 530 megawatts per year, with a maximum annual output of
approximately 650 megawatts. The
Project is a 20-acre site within
the Satsop Redevelopment Park in Grays Harbor County (location
map). The
entire 20-acre site was previously developed, including grading and surfacing with gravel
and asphalt, and used as an equipment and material laydown area during construction of
WNP-3 and WNP-5.
The Site Certificate
for the Satsop Nuclear Project (WNP 3/5) site was
amended in 1996 to allow for construction of a 450 MW gas turbine. The
nuclear power projects were removed from the Site Certificate in 1999. In April, 2001
the Site Certificate was amended again to allow the current 650 MW gas turbine project.
Construction started on the combustion
turbine project in September 2001 but was suspended in
September 2002
at approximately 56% complete.
In April
2005 the Site Certificate was amended
to reflect the sale of the project from Duke Energy to Grays Harbor
Energy LLC (a subsidiary of Invenergy Inc.) Construction was
restarted in February 2007 with commercial operation starting in
April 2008.

March 2005: Transfer of Ownership to Invenergy: In early February 2005 EFSEC received a request
to transfer the ownership of the Satsop Combustion Turbine Project.
In March 2005 EFSEC approved the requested
transfer of ownership from Duke Energy Grays Harbor with Invenergy's
finalization of the transactions between Duke Energy Grays Harbor and Invenergy, and EFSEC's receipt of a financial guarantee of funds for
site restoration.

Project History:
The Council completed its review of the Satsop
Combustion Turbine Project, Application No. 94-1, and the Governor signed the Site
Certification Agreement on May 21, 1996.
In February 2001, the Council authorized
a technical amendment to the Site Certification Agreement, allowing the
addition of Duke Energy Grays Harbor, LLC, as a Site Certification Agreement
co-permittee.
In April 2001, the Council authorized
a technical amendment to the Site Certification, allowing:
-
the replacement of the
originally permitted Westinghouse turbines with General Electric turbines;
-
a modification
of the facility
configuration from a dual "one-on-one" configuration
(two separate but identical combustion turbine generator - steam
turbine generator trains), to a single "two on one"
configuration (two combustion turbine generators - one steam turbine
generator facility);
-
an increase of
the nominal output
of the facility from 490 MW to 530 MW;
-
an increase of the a
maximum output of approximately 650 MW by utilizing duct firing;
-
and removal of the
capability to use diesel oil as a backup fuel.
Construction started on the combustion
turbine project in September 2001 but was suspended in
September of 2002
at approximately 56%
completion.
In April
2005 the Site Certificate was amended
to reflect the transfer of ownership from Duke Energy to Grays Harbor
Energy LLC (a subsidiary of Invenergy Inc.).
Invenergy restarted construction in February 2007.
