Project milestones and public references behind the asset profile.
Construction of the Redbud project began in October 2001.
InterGen announced completion of financing and the official groundbreaking for the Redbud Energy Project. Bechtel Power was appointed to build the facility under a turnkey contract.
Construction was reported complete by late fall 2003.
EIA-860 lists generator CT01, generator CT02, generator CT03, generator CT04, generator ST01, generator ST02, generator ST03, generator ST04 with this operating date.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission approved the Redbud acquisition and cost-recovery mechanism.
OG&E closed the acquisition, acquiring a 51% interest for approximately $434.5 million and assuming operations management. GRDA and OMPA acquired 36% and 13% interests, respectively. The $852 million total consideration was for the entire Redbud Energy LP partnership interest.
Redbud was retrofitted with Advanced Gas Path technology, resulting in increased output and improved efficiency. Emerson also replaced steam-turbine controls, excitation systems, and vibration-monitoring systems with an integrated Ovation solution.
