Exelon Generation, an Exelon company, contracted Graycor Industrial to construct a 350-megawatt gas turbine power plant in Chicago. The completed Southeast Chicago Energy Project now adds power generation capacity to the city of Chicago, while helping to rejuvenate the city’s southeast industrial corridor.
The project consisted of installing eight General Electric combustion turbines, all fueled by natural gas; a switchyard; a power distribution center building and an operations building. Peoples Energy Resources Corp. supplied natural gas.
Southeast Chicago Energy Project was a joint effort by Exelon Generation and Peoples Energy Resources Corp.’s (PERC) Power Generation team, a direct subsidiary of Peoples Energy that develops, owns and operates power generation facilities. Exelon Generation, the majority equity partner, led the construction effort and operates the facility. The plant was constructed on a site about 10 miles from downtown Chicago. PERC Power Generation originally acquired the site and performed preliminary development efforts.
