General Description of Amendment

On April 9, 2007, Larkspur 3, LLC, petitioned the Energy Commission for an incremental change to the existing Larkspur Energy Facility 2001 AFC (01-EP-1).

Larskpur 3, LLC is proposing to construct a third combustion turbine generator unit (Unit 3) and associated equipment on the undeveloped eastern portion of the existing Larkspur Energy Facility.

The existing Larkspur Energy Facility is contained within one 3.44-acre (approximate 300-foot by 500-foot) parcel of land. This entire parcel was previously examined in the 2001 AFC. The incremental change to the existing Larkspur Energy Facility, the proposed Larkspur 3 Energy Facility (the Project) is an approximate 0.9-acre (approximate 300-foot by 125-foot) area within this parcel. The Project is located at the southeast corner of Otay Mesa Road and Harvest Road in the Otay Mesa Development District in the incorporated City of San Diego, California.

The Project includes the addition of one General Electric (GE) LM6000-PC Sprint¨ natural gas combustion turbine generator (CTG) to the existing Larkspur Energy Facility which currently contains two CTG units (Unit 1 and Unit 2).

The proposed Unit 3 is a nominal 47 megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired simple-cycle unit that will be located immediately east and adjacent to Units 1 and 2.

In addition, a 600 kW natural gas fired reciprocating engine will be installed to provide black-start capabilities. This will result in increasing the power generation capacity from nominal 94 megawatts (MW) to a combined total of nominal 141 MW.
