Work has begun on a $182 million natural gas-fired combined-cycle cogeneration plant for the Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL). A combination electric and steam utility, with 225 steam customers (including the Capitol building) on its downtown steam loop, BWL is replacing its four coal-fired, steam-generation units at the Moores Park facility. The new unit will generate 100 MW of electricity, with sufficient steam available to serve the existing steam customers and more. The new plant, which includes offices for 180 BWL employees, will be LEED-certified.
