The new Caithness Moxie Freedom Generating Station is now online and has started selling power in the market, a company representative said.
“Using state-of-the-art technology, the plant will achieve the highest efficiency in the use of natural gas,” said spokesman Steve Kratz.
The station’s dry-cooling technology reduces water usage 95 percent compared to a plant the same size using traditional cooling methods, he said. The Moxie Freedom station also will reduce CO2 emissions by 3.2 million tons per year compared to old steam plants, he said...Company representatives joined state and local officials in the township last week to present a $20,000 donation to the Salem Township Volunteer Fire Company.
“Our investment in this community did not stop with the development of the Caithness Freedom Generating Station. It has created an opportunity to be a long-term partner of the volunteer fire company, local leaders and the people of this community,” Ross D. Ain, executive vice president of Caithness Energy, said in a release.
