Anchorage Municipal Light & Power Gives $25 Million Makeover With New Addition at Hank Nikkels Plant

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas). Anchorage Municipal Light & Power Company (Anchorage, Alaska), has completed construction and start-up testing for a $25 million, 30-megawatt repowering project at the Hank Nikkels Power Plant located in Anchorage, Alaska. Construction for the project started in March 2006 after Anchorage Municipal Light & Power (MLP) received an air quality control permit to replace Unit 03’s turbine at the Hank Nikkels Plant One facility. Full commercial start-up is scheduled to commence on July 30.

The project consisted of replacing the older existing turbine, which was an 18 MW dual fueled Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation W-191-G combustion turbine that was installed in 1965. The newly installed unit will be a 30-megawatt GE Power Systems LM2500+ combustion turbine equipped with an air-preheater that is used at the intake to heat the air during cold temperatures. The turbine will also feature dry low NOx equipment to reduce emissions.

Power Engineers of Vancouver, Washington provided the turnkey E+P+C (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) services for the project.
