Materials from Interviews with Dry Cooling System Operators He has looked at Mee Fog and another fogging system (I didn’t get the name), but thought the approach was too expensive. I’m not sure how he evaluated it. George, really wants to look at pre-cooling alternatives. As I was leaving, he said would be interested in a collaborative effort to evaluate pre-cooling. Let’s plan discuss this early next week. I think he would try to sell the idea of some sort of shared expense to his management. Also, this ties into one of the TC’s we’ve been discussing. Description: El Dorado Energy (Boulder City, NV) - El Dorado Energy, a 480-megawatt power plant jointly owned by Reliant Energy and Sempra Energy, has begun commercial operation, selling electricity into the wholesale power markets of Nevada, California and the southwestern United States (photos). The $280 million natural gas-fired power generating plant, located near Boulder City, Nev., about 40 miles southeast of Las Vegas, is designed to provide reliable, safe and cost-effective power to support the growing economies of the region. “We're pleased to begin commercial operations,” said George Tatar, El Dorado facility manager. “Testing and initial start-up operations were conducted for the last several weeks to scrutinize and fine-tune all operational and environmental systems for safety, reliability and commerciality.” The new plant, under construction since April, 1998, is capable of generating enough energy to serve nearly a half-million households. “One of the nation’s first large-scale merchant power plants, El Dorado Energy is perfectly positioned to sell competitively priced energy into three of the nation’s fastest growing markets, southern Nevada, Arizona and Southern California,” said Darcel Hulse, president of Sempra Energy Resources, the power generation unit of Sempra Energy. “In addition, this generation will help support Sempra Energy’s retail-focused growth strategy.” “This is an important step for Reliant Energy in our strategy to compete in the major power markets in the western United States and across the country by building an asset-backed, energy trading and marketing organization,” said Joe Bob Perkins, president and chief operating officer of Reliant Energy's Wholesale Group. The state-of-the-art plant complex employs advanced, combined-cycle gas turbine and photovoltaic technology, making it one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly power generating facilities in the United States. The plant features a water-saving, air-cooled condenser in lieu of a traditional, “wet-cooled” water system. Also, the facility is equipped with a 100- kilowatt solar field, comprised of 256 panels that track the sun’s path through the Nevada sky. With its photovoltaic technology, El Dorado Energy is well-positioned to become a prototype for other such facilities. C-20
