---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Dominion Generation, a subsidiary of Dominion Energy Incorporated (Richmond, Virginia), has started the $135 million 360-megawatt (MW) expansion project at the Ladysmith Peaking Station in Woodford, Virginia.

Construction started this month and is scheduled for commercial operation by the fall of 2008. The project will consist of installing two 180 MW dual-fueled GE Power Systems MS7001FA combustion turbine generators to the existing facility. The new units will operate in a simple cycle peaking capacity, operating when energy demands are at their highest, which is usually during the summer and winter months. The project will also feature state-of-the art emissions technology such as water injection system and Dry Low NOx burners to control NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions.

Crowder Construction Company based in Charlotte, North Carolina, will provide the turnkey engineering, procurement and construction services for the project.
