Owner/Operator : GenOn Energy Inc.
(formerly Reliant Energy Inc.)
Portland Station is located on a 1,094-acre site along the west bank of the Delaware River in Northampton County, 10 miles southeast of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The facility is comprised of two coal-fired generating units, vintage 1958 and 1962 respectively, with a capacity of 400 megawatts and three dual-fueled combustion turbines with a total generating capacity of 185 megawatts.
The three combustion turbines started commercial operation in 1967, 1971 and 1997. Unit 5 is the newest of these combustion turbines and features water injection low nitrogen oxide (NOx) design.
x2 Coal-fired (sub-bit) (ST) Gen sets
= 427 MW max Gen. Cap.
+ x3 DFO fired (GT) Gen sets
= 194 MW max Gen. Cap.
= 621 MW max Total Plant Gen. Capy.
