Description
Sempra Generation is pleased to have been chosen by Alcoa to move forward on a power-generation project at its Eastalco Aluminum Co. site in Frederick County, Md. This project is called Catoctin Power LLC.
As of January 2004, Sempra Generation and Eastalco Works have agreed to work toward getting the permits needed to construct a $300 million, 600-megawatt (MW) electrical generating facility in Frederick County, Md., that will be one of the cleanest and most efficient power plants in the nation. This plant will get built on a portion of an industrial-zoned property that has served as the home of the Alcoa Eastalco Works aluminum smelting site since 1970.
The power plant will use clean-burning natural gas as its fuel and will feature the latest in air-emissions-reduction technologies. It will generate enough power for about 300,000 homes. The electricity will be sold to Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey energy users, including utilities, and large industrial and commercial firms. Eastalco Works could use more than half of the power generated by the plant.
