Key Site Details
850+ Acres
7,000+ ft of Rail Spur
60+ river mooring cells and transloading infrastructure in place
Private site road network with gated site access. Less than 5 miles from I-376
High-voltage electricity, water, wastewater, natural gas, and fiber optic at site.
$1.6 Billion coal-to-gas conversion that will generate 2,550 MW of power for the PJM grid.
Former Bruce Mansfield Power Plant – 2,500+ MW coal fired plant
Shippingport Power Station (SPS)
$3+ Billion Impact | 2,550 Megawatt Power Generation
Project to deliver 2,550 Firm MWs to PJM network with three (3) 850 MW existing base load steam turbines, interconnection point, and associated infrastructure.
SPS Project Overview
~$1.6+ Billion direct investment planned for the full conversion of the former coal plant into a 2.5+ GW natural gas fired plant, including related electrical infrastructure. Over $3 Billion in total economic impact, including direct, indirect, and induced spend over the 3 year construction period.
Existing electrical infrastructure will be leveraged to increase speed to market, providing a critical advantage over other new power generation projects. Site-related environmental liabilities from the site’s former use have been remediated off-site, and indemnities are in place.

Coal to Gas Conversion
Conversion of coal plant decommissioned in c. 2019 (consisting of three super-critical Foster Wheeler coal-fired boilers with 915MW gross output each) to burn natural gas, including new burners, boiler refurbishment, and control system upgrades.
Removal of coal fixtures and systems will provide areas for new substation and new onsite generation.
Refurbishment of Equipment
Refurbishment of three GE steam turbine and generators (HP + IP + LP + LP + LP sections1)
Refurbishment of balance of plant equipment
Upgrade of plant control system including replacement of manual synchronization equipment and communication systems
New Gas Supply Line
Installation of two (2) new high-pressure natural gas supply line laterals from large regional providers.
Construction of on-site gas receiving station and header system.
Interconnection
Re-establishing an interconnection agreement with PJM, the Regional Transmission Operator (“RTO”), for testing each 900MW steam turbine generator at full load.
Plans to export 1.8 GW of excess power to the PJM, to support surging power demands of the RTO.
1HP = High Pressure; IP = Intermediate Pressure; LP = Low Pressure. These are the different stages of the steam turbine. A typical steam turbine unit has a common HP/IP section and LP turbine. This unit has five separate turbine sections (each with its own rotor).

History of location
Bruce Mansfield Power Plant began commercial operations of Unit 1 in 1976 with Units 2 and 3 following suit in 1977 and 1980 respectively. Construction of Bruce Mansfield commenced in 1970. All three of the units generated 830 MW each with a nameplate capacity of 2490 MW. Its ownership was a consortium of Pennsylvania Power, Ohio Edison, Cleveland Electric Illuminating, Toledo Edison, and Duquesne Light to form the Central Area Power Coordination (CAPCO). The plant was operated by Pennsylvania Power and was named after D. Bruce Mansfield, a former chairman of Penn Power.
