RSSSouthern to sell more power to California
January 10, 2001
Southern Energy recently agreed to be the wholesale supplier of 120 additional MW of generating capacity to the California power market through an agreement with Thermo Ecotek, said Randy Harrison, CEO of Southern Energy's U.S. West Region.
"This joint effort between the two companies should help ease the current power shortage in California by activating the Mountainview peaking units and generating electricity to be used in the California market," Harrison said.
Under the tolling agreement with Thermo Ecotek, Southern Energy plans to supply the natural gas, dispatch the units and manage the plant output. In return, Thermo Ecotek plans to contract with Southern California Edison (SoCal) personnel to operate the plant. Financial details of the agreement weren't disclosed.
Southern Energy, a global independent power producer and leading energy marketing and risk-management company, owns more than 17,600 MW of capacity around the world, including about 12,400 MW in the United States, with more than 7,000 MW under advanced development.
