General Description of Project
The Hanford Combined-Cycle Power Plant is a major amendment filed by GWF Energy LLC on October 1, 2008, to the license for the Hanford Energy Peaker Project. The amendment seeks to add combined-cycle capability to the existing peaker power plant.
The Hanford Energy Peaker Project (HEPP) is a 95-megawatt project certified by the Energy Commission on April 26, 2001, pursuant to the 21-day Emergency Power Plant Licensing process andb egan commercial operation on September 1, 2001. The facility is located approximately three miles south the City of Hanford inKings County.Description of Proposed Modification
The modification proposed in the petition would involve converting the existing HEPP from a nominal 95-megawatt (MW) simple-cycle power plant into a combined-cycle power plant with a nominal 25 MW (net) of additional generating capacity. Though the plant would be renamed to the GWF Hanford Combined-Cycle Power Plant (GWF Hanford), it will retain the capability to operate in a simple-cycle configuration. New once-through steam generators (OTSGs) would be installed to allow the plant to be operated in its current simple-cycle configuration with no steam generation but with the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and oxidation catalyst in operation, or to operate as a combined-cycle power plant generating an additional 25 MW (net) of power with new proposed emission limits.
