CPV Low Carbon Generation

“For over two decades, our low carbon generation development team has been leading the energy industry by utilizing the latest available technology to bring cutting-edge projects from concept to reality. With a portfolio comprised of some of the lowest emitting, dispatchable generation projects on the grid as well as several of the largest carbon capture projects in the world within our development pipeline, CPV is well positioned to continue our role as a premier developer, owner and operator of reliable generation assets.”

– Peter Podurgiel, President, Low Carbon Generation

Dispatchable Generation Available for When it’s Needed Most.

CPV Visits National Carbon Capture Center

Understanding the importance of sharing and learning from industry peers, CPV’s Low Carbon Generation team visited the National Carbon Capture Center in Wilsonville, AL to tour the facility and learn more about the emerging technologies in the carbon capture space that are currently undergoing testing.

Knowledge obtained by meeting industry experts at the Center has proved integral as CPV evaluates the feasibility of incorporating carbon capture into the design of new combined-cycle projects.

CPV Basin Ranch Advances Development

Development activities continue on our CPV Basin Ranch Energy Center. The 1,350 MW combined-cycle project, which is planned to be constructed in Ward County, Texas, is being developed in response to the urgent need for more dispatchable power in Texas currently facing grid operators and long term planners. Located in the Permian Basin, one of the fastest growing load pockets in the United States, CPV Basin Ranch is being designed to include carbon capture technology which would capture over 90% of the CO2 emissions from operations. A Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study is currently underway and will help the project assess options for carbon capture in the region.

The facility is also being designed to incorporate advanced air-cooling technology which would reduce water use by approximately 85% compared to a wet-cooled facility, minimizing its impact on local resources.

West Virginia Project Among World’s Largest

Our CPV Shay Energy Center, which is planned to be constructed in Doddridge County, WV, continues to advance critical development activities which have now led to the project receiving its Siting Certificate and Certificate of Public Convenience & Necessity from the West Virginia Public Service Commission. The 2,100 MW combined-cycle project is the largest known carbon capture project in the world and will be capable of powering over 2 million homes once operational.

The project, due to its location within the PJM Interconnection and status as one of the only new combined-cycles in the interconnection queue, is in a unique position to respond to the region’s growing need for more baseload power as the grid deals with more retirements and increasing load forecasts.
