History

The Limay Power Plant is commissioned in 1993. The facility was government-owned through the National Power Corporation. It was privatized in 2009 when the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) sold the facility to the San Miguel Corporation in August 2009. There were three prior attempts to bid out the property. [2]

San Miguel had planned to expand the diesel plant, but due to the high cost of diesel, it had abandoned such plans by 2011. Instead, it announced plans to construct a new coal-fired power station. [3] [4]

The Limay facility was sold to Millennium Energy in 2011. [5] [6]

Facility

The Limay facility consisted of two 310-MW modules with a combined capacity of 620-MW. It is a combined cycle gas turbine power station. [2]

The B.L. England Generating Station, also called Beesley's Point Generating Station, was a power plant in Upper Township, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States, on the Great Egg Harbor River. The facility provided approximately 450 megawatts of generating capacity from three generating units. Two units burned coal (and up to 7 percent Tire-derived fuel) and the third unit burned bunker C oil. Its large smokestack, altered to resemble a lighthouse, contained a sulfur dioxide scrubber which removed the SO2 from the flue gas and converted it into gypsum, which can be sold. The scrubber allowed the two coal units to use less expensive high sulfur coal from West Virginia.
