The CPV Towantic Energy Center is a 2x1 combined-cycle project
composed of two General Electric 7HA.01 combustion turbine
generators, two heat recovery steam generators and one steam
turbine generator. The facility is primarily fueled by clean
natural gas. Substantial completion was achieved on May 7 and the
facility entered commercial service May 21, 2018.
“I want to recognize and thank all of the talented women and men
of Gemma Power Systems for their outstanding contributions to this
project as we delivered another great project experience to all of
our stakeholders,” William F. Griffin, Jr., GPS Chief Executive
Officer said.
“We congratulate CPV on the addition of another highly
efficient, clean energy facility to their fleet. We are pleased for
the opportunity to continue our relationship with the company and
its people,” said Griffin.
The CPV Towantic Energy Center employed 700 skilled craft
employees at the height of construction and will employ 22
permanent employees.
The Towantic project is the second major facility to be
completed by Gemma for CPV – the first was an 800 MW facility in
