The Louisiana Energy and Power Authority (LEPA) said May 22 that it has dedicated its new 64-MW natural gas fired combined-cycle gas turbine generating plant (CCGT) in Morgan City, Louisiana.
The $120.7 million project is the first power plant to be built in the southern region of Louisiana in some 40 years, and the first electrical power plant to be built by LEPA.
Six LEPA member municipalities: Morgan City, Houma, Jonesville, Plaquemine, Rayne and Vidalia, have entered into long term power sales agreements for the plant’s power output.
