Bridgeport Energy Project is a natural-gas combined-cycle station in Fairfield County, Connecticut, associated with ISO New England. The EIA plant baseline lists 520 MW of nameplate capacity. FERC's asset appendix identifies two 170-MW units placed in service in June 1998 and a 180-MW unit in May 1999, which sum to 520 MW. A Connecticut Siting Council forecast reported the 520-MW project as operating in May 1999.
