More Than 2,000 Megawatts of New Mississippi Power Generation Projects Centered Around Steam

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas). Power generation developers in Mississippi seem to be focused on the use of steam. New power generation projects in the works include a 1,550-megawatt (MW) nuclear unit addition at an existing station, a 500 MW coal-fired unit or a natural gas-fired combined-cycle unit at an existing coal-fired station, a grassroot 40 MW biomass (poultry and wood waste) plant, and a 1.5 MW wood-fired cogeneration unit at a paper mill.

The largest project is the addition of a nuclear reactor at Systems Energy Resources, Incorporated’s (Jackson, Mississippi), which is a joint venture of Entergy Nuclear Generation and South Mississippi Electric Power Association (Hattiesburg, Mississippi), Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Station near Port Gibson in Claiborne County, Mississippi. General Electric’s nuclear Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) is the technology being studied and capacity could be as large as 1,550 megawatts.

The second project also involves South Mississippi Electric Power Association, which is reviewing a project for its R. D. Morrow Power Station in Lamar County near Purvis, Mississippi. South Mississippi is deciding on either a coal-fired unit or a natural gas-fired combined cycle unit (two combustion turbine/generators (CT), two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG’s), and a steam turbine/generator to provide 500 megawatts to grid.

The third project is a 40 MW biomass project being developed by FibroMiss, LLC, a subsidiary of Fibrowatt LLC (Newtown, Pennsylvania). FibroMiss is studying a site near Magee in Simpson County, Mississippi where it plans to burn poultry waste and wood waste in a stoker/spray grate-fired boiler.

The forth project is Intrinergy, LLC’s 1.5 MW wood-fired cogeneration unit that will provide power and steam to Coastal Papers Company’s paper mill near Wiggins in Stone County, Mississippi.
