2/4 19:10 Natural gas for March delivery (NGH0 ) could rise
after the National Weather Service forecast more frigid weather
for the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, the fuel's biggest home
heating markets. Below normal temperatures are expected in the
Northeast and Great Lakes regions from Feb. 10 through Feb. 14,
with seasonably cold weather in the rest of the Midwest. March
natural gas rose 8.3 cents to $2.742 per million British thermal
units on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

2/4 16:15 Schenectady, New York, Feb. 4 (Bloomberg) -- General Electric
Co., the No. 1 maker of power turbines, said it won a $500 million
contract to supply 16 turbines to Northern States Power Co.'s NRG
Energy unit.

GE will provide Northern States with 11 natural gas and 5
steam turbines, which have a capacity to generate 3,000 megawatts
of electricity, enough power to light 3 million homes. The
turbines will be installed on Northern States' existing power
plants in North America during the next five years.

The contract comes two days after GE's Power Systems division
announced a $4 billion contract to supply turbines to North
Carolina-based Duke Energy Corp., one of the largest orders it's
ever received.

In case anyone's wondering about that $4 Billion...

The agreements cover the purchase of 84 gas turbines, 17 steam turbines and long-term services agreements for up to 23 merchant power plants across the country.
