Select Energy Begins Preliminary Design for Proposed 24 MW Connecticut Cogen

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). In May of 2003, the University of Connecticut (Storrs, Connecticut) selected Select Energy Incorporated (Natick, Massachusetts) to be the design, built, and operate contractor for their proposed 24 MW university cogeneration plant (PEC 36000368, Plant 1060990).

Select Energy is currently conducting the preliminary design and permitting for the proposed $75 million cogeneration plant. Select Energy will operate the new plant and sell power to the university for a period of years (usually 20-30 years) after which, they will sell the plant back to the university.

Current plans call for actual construction on the cogeneration plant to begin in early 2004 with the new plant coming online in late 2005.

Select Energy Incorporated is part of the Connecticut based Northeast Utilities family of companies. Select Energy Incorporated was formed at the start of electric utility restructuring. Now Select Energy Incorporated provides electricity, natural gas and other energy commodity supply to customers throughout 11 northeastern U.S. states from Maine to Maryland.
