16 January 2007 -- Vogt Power International Inc., a subsidiary of Babcock Power Inc., announced that it was selected to supply Navasota Energy Partners LP the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) for their Colorado Bend and Quail Run Energy Centers in Wharton, near Houston and Odessa, Texas.
Vogt Power will design, engineer, manufacture and deliver four supplementary fired, two pressure level, natural circulation HRSGs with selective catalytic reduction systems, to be installed behind General Electric 7EA gas turbines. Two HRSGs will be supplied for each of the Phase II developments of the Colorado Bend and Quail Run Energy Centers.
When combined with the rotating and balance of plant equipment they will add an additional 275 MW of electricity generation from each facility. Vogt Power's contract is valued in excess of $30 million.
Vogt Power said this will be the first new gas combined cycle power plants built in Texas since 2003. The Texas transmission and distribution system, ERCOT, may be facing reserve margins below the 12.5 percent threshold in the coming years and more utilities are looking to build reliable power plants to serve the predicted surge in demand.
