Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Invenergy LLC (Chicago, Illinois) recently announced that it has begun operations of its 1,485-megawatt (MW), natural gas-fired Lackawanna Energy Center in Jessup, Pennsylvania, near Scranton. The $1.25 billion plant represents one of more than $3.6 billion in planned Invenergy project completions in 2019. While Invenergy is in the early planning stages for other natural gas-fired projects in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, the company's main focus is on renewable energy, particularly wind power.
Construction on the Lackawanna Energy Center began in early 2016, with Kiewit Power Constructors Company (Lenexa, Kansas) providing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). The facility uses General Electric (NYSE:GE) equipment. The plant is planned to replace older units on the PJM Interconnection. In a press release, Invenergy Chief Executive Officer Michael Polsky said, "We are tremendously proud to go online with the Lackawanna Energy Center, the largest and most technically sophisticated power plant Invenergy has ever developed, built and operated." For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

Invenergy also has plans to wrap up several other projects this year, mostly wind power. Among these is the Santa Rita East Wind Energy Center in Reagan County, Texas. The 300-MW facility will use 120 General Electric 2.5-MW wind turbine generators. Construction began in the third quarter of last year and is expected to wrap up this summer. Blattner Energy Incorporated (Avon, Minnesota) is providing EPC on the project, which has an estimated total investment value (TIV) of $495 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In Iowa, Invenergy plans to start and finish its Ida Grove Windfarm in Ida County this year. The 300-MW project will use 130 General Electric wind turbine generators. Construction is planned to kick off in the second quarter. The project has an estimated TIV of $330 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Last summer, Invenergy began construction on its 161.3-MW Pine River Wind Park near Saint Louis, Michigan. When completed, the project will be operated by DTE Energy Company (NYSE:DTE) (Detroit, Michigan). Construction is expected to wrap up this quarter. IEA Constructors Incorporated (Clinton, Indiana) is providing EPC on the project, which has an estimated TIV of $325 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
While Invenergy's projects are primarily geared toward wind, the company plans to wrap up a couple of solar projects this year. The largest of these is a 160-MW solar farm near Camilla, Georgia. Georgia Power (Atlanta, Georgia), a unit of Southern Company (NYSE:SO) (Atlanta), has made a power purchase agreement for all of the plant's energy through 2049. Construction is expected to begin soon and be completed by the end of the year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
