ABB built this greenfield dual-fuel combined cycle power plant and nominally rated at 254 MW on an EPC basis. The plant was connected to the grid in September 2000. The facility supplies electricity to BC Hydro and process steam to the adjacent pulp and paper mill. It supplies electricity to BC Hydro and process steam to the adjacent pulp and paper mill. Major plant components are:
• ABB single shaft power train with one gas fired combustion turbine, steam turbine, and steam condenser
• ABB heat recovery steam generator
• Demineralised water treatment facility
• On-site natural gas compression facility
• On-site storage and transfer system for back-up distillate firing in the combustion turbine
• Mechanical draft cooling tower
• Plant water, fuel, and waste water handling system
• Centralised shops, stores, and maintenance facilities

Ausenco Sandwell provided balance of plant engineering services including civil, structural, and building services for this ABB supplied combined cycle plant, which was constructed adjacent to an existing plant to which interconnections were made.
