El Paso Electric Co will utilize GE aeroderivative gas turbine technology to expand its Rio Grande power plant in Sunland Park, New Mexico. GE will provide an 88 MW LMS100PA aeroderivative gas turbine which will run on natural gas with 43% energy-efficiency in this simple-cycle application.
GE also will supply a control building and emissions-control equipment that includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for control of nitrogen oxides and a carbon monoxide reduction system.
The new turbine will serve approximately 50,000 customers in the Las Cruces and El Paso, Texas, areas once it becomes operational in May 2013.
