The proposed Bluewaters Power Station Expansion comprises two new coal-fired, base-load generators, each capable of producing 208 MW. It would bring the number of generating units at the Bluewaters site to four, and lift the facility’s total output to approximately 830MW.
The first two units, Bluewaters I and II, are now under construction, and will come on line in 2008 and 2009. The two proposed new units are planned for completion in 2012 and 2014 respectively.
The expansion project will meet all environmental regulations, and will use modern and efficient emissions controls technology throughout.
