Repowering existing fossil fired steam generation is an attractive alternative for utilities today. The repowered plant optimizes the re-use of the existing steam turbine generator and auxiliary assets along with the installation of clean, modern, efficient combustion turbine generators. The conversion results in a plant which compared favorably on a performance basis with a totally new ``greenfield`` plant, but is lower in capital cost. In addition, repowering makes prudent use of existing utility sites, infrastructure, and experience to provide the lowest cost energy for the end customer. The paper presents Public Service Electric and Gas Company`s views and describes an example of utility repowering at the Bergen Generating Station in New Jersey.
