The Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project (WRCGRP), a joint venture between PSI Energy, Inc. (PSI) and Destec Energy, Inc. (Destec), is now over 90% complete. Commercial operation is scheduled to begin by the end of August, 1995. Upon start-up, the WRCGRP will be the largest operating coal gasification combined cycle (CGCC) plant in the world. The plant will also have the lowest capital cost in terms of $/KW of all past and current CGCC demonstration plants. This paper describes the activities of design and construction leading to the start-up of the Wabash River repowering project.
