Calpine Corporation (NYSE: CPN) is completing the commissioning and final check-out phase of the Morgan Energy Center in Alabama. Next month, the company will initiate "first fire" on one of the three power blocks that will make up the 720 MW combined-cycle plant. The plant is located in Decatur on the site of a chemical processing plant owned by BP. Commercial operation will begin this summer and electrical output will go to the grid and steam to BP. Morgan Energy Center will consist of three Siemens Westinghouse 501FD combustion turbines, three Nooter Eriksen reheat HRSGs, and a Toshiba 275 MW non-reheat steam turbine with a turbine bypass system. Calpine's newest plant will push the number of operational power plants in Alabama to 52. Utility Engineering (UE) (Minneapolis, Minnesota) is responsible for all detailed civil/structural, mechanical, electrical and controls balance of plant (BOP) engineering including all procurement specifications. BE&K Engineering Company (Birmingham, Alabama) is responsible for all construction activities.
