PG&E approved for 660 MW natural gas-fired plant

24 April 2008 -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company received approval from the California Energy Commission to construct its 660 MW Colusa natural gas-fired generating station.

The Colusa Generating Station will be located adjacent to an existing PG&E natural gas compressor station near an existing 230,000-volt transmission line and natural gas transmission. The station is said to utilize dry cooling technology and have no water discharge.

PG&E expects construction to begin this spring, with the facility scheduled to begin commercial operation in the summer of 2010.
