29 August 2006 -- The California Energy Commission announced Friday its decision to recommend the approval for construction of the 145-MW San Francisco Electric Reliability Project.
If approved by the full Commission, the simple-cycle peaking power plant would operate on a 4-acre parcel in San Francisco's southeastern Potrero District. The city and county of San Francisco proposes to operate the facility up to 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, but not more than 12,000 hours per year for all three combustion turbines combined. The Energy Commission will consider permitting the facility at a special business meeting scheduled for October 3, 2006.
The project will include construction of a new 115-kilovolt (kV) switchyard on the site's north side. Construction of the SFERP, from site preparation and grading to commercial operation, is expected to take about a year. The plant may begin generating electricity in late 2007. City officials estimate the project's capital costs around $140 million.
