EL Segundo Power II LLC is seeking approval to replace the existing El
Segundo Generating Station Units 1 and 2 in the City of El Segundo with
a natural gas-fired combined cycle electric generation facility. The
existing Units 3 and 4 located adjacent to Units 1 and 2 will not be
modified by this project. The new combined cycle facility is expected to
generate 630 megawatts under nominal conditions. This is 280 megawatts
more than the old Units 1 and 2 were capable of generating when
operating.
