On Thursday, September 3, 1998, members of the public and other interested parties will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed Pittsburg District Energy Facility.
The 500 megawatt natural gas-fired power plant has been proposed for Energy Commission licensing by the Pittsburg District Energy Facility, a subsidiary of Enron Capital and Trade Resources Corporation.
The proposed 12-acre site for the project, currently owned by USSÐPosco Industries, is approximately one mile east of the center of the City of Pittsburg in Contra Costa County. The project would also include a 20-acre construction area to the south of the power plant site.
If approved by the Energy Commission, the Pittsburg District Energy Facility would provide approximately 450 megawatts of electricity to be sold in California's newly created electricity market. The project would also provide approximately 50 megawatts of electricity to USS-POSCO and approximately 75,000 pounds per hour of steam for use in the firm's industrial processes.
