The Linden Generating Station
Linden Generating Station is a 1,566 MW power plant located along the Arthur Kill in Linden, New Jersey. The Plant consists of six units - two “load following” combined cycle units and four “peaking” or combustion turbine units.

Units 1 and 2 are designed as identical two-on-one combined cycle units capable of burning both natural gas and kerosene and have a total summer net capacity of 1,230 MW. These units consist of two GE 7FA combustion turbines and one GE D11 steam turbine.

Combined-cycle generation uses both gas turbines and steam generators to produce electricity with high conversion efficiencies and low emissions. In a combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT), the hot exhaust gases of a gas turbine are used to provide all, or a portion of, the heat source for the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), which produces steam for the steam generator turbine. This combination increases the thermal efficiency over traditional fossil generation.

Units 5, 6, 7 and 8 are simple cycle combustion turbines that are also capable of burning both natural gas and kerosene and have a total summer net capacity of 336 MW.
