City approves 53 million generator upgrade project

Getsco Technical Services Inc. awarded an 884 800 contract to install the LM6000 turbine and 22 megawatt steam generator to replace old equipment, raising efficiency by about 33 percent. The project faced delay after IPPSA challenged AEUB approval, but a PILOT agreement and compromise allowed progress. The unit ships from Texas and should be operational in 2003.
