medium. The Facility generally produces about 40.6MW (gross) and 40.0 
MW (net) of electricity and approximately 70,000 lbs/hr of high 
pressure steam while producing 30,000 lbs/hr of low pressure steam, and 
approximately 75 MMBtu/hr of thermal energy. The principal components 
of the Facility are a steam injected GE LM6000 gas turbine and a waste 
heat recovery steam generator capable of producing high and low 
pressure steam as well as heating a high temperature fluid. The 
Facility as currently configured includes certain transmission 
interconnection facilities necessary to effect the sale of electric 
energy at wholesale and interconnect the Facility to the transmission 
grid. All of the electricity generated by the Facility is sold 
exclusively at wholesale.
