GE will work closely with Kiewit Power Constructors (Kiewit), the engineering, construction and procurement (EPC) contractor on the project, to integrate GE’s 7HA.02 gas turbine into the approximately 620 megawatt power plant project. The order also contains a GE steam turbine and generator, one heat recovery generator (HRSG), and a multi-year services agreement.

Electricity produced by the plant will be provided to the PJM regional transmission organization, which provides electricity to millions of customers in the northeastern United States.

The project is scheduled to be completed in 2021.
