Sierra Pacific Power Company (SPPCo) is engaged in an IGCC project funded in part under the DOE`s Clean Coal Technology Program, Round 4. The facility which will have a net power production of approximately 100 MW from a nominal 880 T/D of Western coal, is being built at the Tracy Station near Reno, Nevada. Foster Wheeler USA Corporation has been appointed by SPPCo to be responsible for the design, procurement and construction of the overall facilities and has subcontracted The M. W. Kellogg Company for the design and certain procurement activities for the gasification island which will use the KRW fluidized bed coal gasifier with hot gas cleanup. A GE 6 FA gas turbine will be the heart of the power island. This IGCC facility, known as the Pinon Pine Power Project, began construction in February, 1995 is scheduled for startup late 1996 and will be operated as one of SPPCo`s baseload power generating units.
