Colorado Utility Taps GE for Gas Turbines
US engineering giant GE Gas and Power said February 10 it had been chosen to supply six of its advanced LM2500XPRESS™ aeroderivative gas turbine packages to help Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) move away from reliance on coal-fired generation.
The units, each rated at 34-MW, are the first of their kind to be installed in North America and will start commercial operation by the summer of 2022. CSU will use the modular and transportable units to provide power to downtown Colorado Springs while a new transmission line is completed in 2025.
