| New Haven Harbor Generating Station is located on Long Island Sound on the east shore of New Haven Harbor, CT. The station consists of one unit, a 448 MW oil-fired plant that also has the capability to burn natural gas at up to 40% of capacity. It was originally built in 1975 and upgraded with the addition of the natural gas fuel capability in the 1980s. |
|
 |
The plant is one of the most efficient oil-fueled generators in the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL), an integrated market that serves more than 6.5 million retail customers in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
 |
|
The facility can operate with No. 6 oil or a blend of No. 6 oil and natural gas. It has one of the lowest heat rates for intermediate oil/gas steam plants in New England.
PSEG Power’s purchase of New Haven Harbor Generating Station together with the nearby Bridgeport Harbor plant adds a total of 961 MW of primarily coal-and-oil-fired electric generating capacity to PSEG Power’s fleet.
|
PSEG Power Connecticut is proposing to build and operate an electric generating peaking facility at its New Haven Harbor station, located at 1 Waterfront Street in New Haven, Connecticut.
