Officials from Gemma joined NTE, state and local officials and
representatives of major contractors on the project at a ribbon
cutting ceremony at the facility on Monday, May 21. The Middletown
Energy Center was certified for commercial operation and was
dispatched to the grid on May 21.
The Ohio project is the sister project to the Kings Mountain
Energy Center, also a 475 MW facility, located in Kings Mountain,
NC. It is scheduled to be completed later this year.
“This achievement is a testament to the dedicated and talented
women and men of Gemma Power Systems who worked tirelessly to
deliver a complex project that exceeded all performance guarantees,
while overcoming the challenges of a very tight schedule and the
impact of severe weather,” said William F. Griffin, Jr., Gemma
Chief Executive Officer.
“NTE Energy was a new customer for us and we appreciate the
opportunity and confidence they showed in us,” Griffin said. “We
congratulate NTE on the commercial operation of its first advanced
technology combined cycle power project,” he said.
“We also thank the community of Middletown which was so
welcoming to our company and our people,” Griffin said. “We strive
to invest in the communities in which we work and live, and leave a
lasting positive legacy after each project. Our support for the
Atrium Medical Center Foundation’s Heal Program and completion of
the hospital’s walking trail are tangible evidence of our
commitment,” he said.
“The building trades’ skill and professionalism were integral to
the safety and success of the Middletown project and the results of
their efforts are on display throughout this facility,” Griffin
said. Employees constructing the Middletown Energy Center also
achieved 1.5 million safe work hours. The Middletown Energy Center
project employed approximately 600 craft workers at the peak of
construction and will employ approximately 25 permanent
workers.
The project features an advanced Mitsubishi Hitachi Power
Systems Americas M501GAC combustion turbine generator, a Vogt Power
International supplementary-fired heat recovery steam generator and
a Toshiba America Energy Systems steam turbine generator.
