Mitsubishi Power and the Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA), Oklahoma’s largest public utility, have formally signed an agreement to provide a second advanced class gas turbine to the Grand River Energy Center in Chouteau, OK. Unit 4 replaces the last remaining coal-fired unit at the Grand River Energy Center.
The M501JAC enhanced air-cooled gas turbine for Unit 4 will replace the Energy Center’s Unit 2, a 492-megawatt coal-fired generator that came online in 1985. Retiring these aging and less efficient coal-fired plants and replacing them with cleaner natural gas-fired units. The Unit 4 gas turbine is also hydrogen-capable and can be adapted in the future to operate on a blend or 100% hydrogen.
