Frank A. Tracy Generating Station

USA / Nevada / Spanish Springs / Waltham Way *

The Frank A. Tracy Generating Station is a multi-technology natural gas-fueled power plant complex that includes a total of 12 generating units with in-service dates ranging from 1961 to 2008.

The newest and largest addition consists of two highly efficient 7FA General Electric combustion turbine generators, similar to the turbines that power jet airplanes. The exhaust from these two units is then recycled to power a separate General Electric D-11 steam turbine for a combined maximum output of 578 megawatts.

The total plant output is 1021 Megawatts, enough electricity to serve approximately 625,000 Nevada households.
