LCG, May 8, 2025--The Southwest Power Pool (SPP) Board of Directors approved SPP’s proposed Expedited Resource Adequacy Study (ERAS) at its May 6 meeting. SPP developed the new ERAS in collaboration with its stakeholders in response to the growing need to add new generating resources before the region’s generating capacity is outpaced by its electricity demands. ERAS is intended to be a one-time, expedited study process designed to significantly accelerate the addition of new power generation facilities to the grid and address concerns about the near term ability to maintain the affordable and reliable electric service that consumers expect.

PSEG Opens Bethlehem Energy Center
LCG, July 8, 2005--PSEG Power celebrated yesterday at its opening ceremony for the Bethlehem Energy Center, located along the Hudson River, three miles south of Albany, New York. The new, gas-fired power plant is built on the site of the Albany Steam Station that was retired in February. The plant will commence full operations later this month.The Bethlehem Energy Center is a combined-cycle power plant with a generating capacity of 750 MW that is based upon the output from a GE Frame 7F system. Construction on the plant, acquired from Niagara Mohawk, began in mid-2002. The new plant will dramatically reduce air emissions relative to the old, 376 MW, oil-fired plant. The plant design includes a closed-loop cooling system that will significantly reduce water consumption from the Hudson River. These environmental benefits have attracted the support of a number of environmental organizations, such as the Natural Resources Defense Council.
