Project milestones and public references behind the asset profile.
West Lorain was constructed as a combined-cycle electric generating system with combustion-turbine Units 1A and 1B, two heat-recovery steam generators, and a steam turbine generator.
EIA-860 lists generator 1A, generator 1B with this operating date.
Five additional combustion turbines, Units 2–6, were installed and placed in operation.
EIA-860 lists generator 2, generator 3, generator 4, generator 5, generator 6 with this operating date.
FirstEnergy Generation agreed to sell the 545-MW West Lorain Facility and related assets to Vermillion Power, an affiliate of Starwood Energy, for $144 million in cash plus customary closing adjustments, subject to the bankruptcy auction and required approvals.
Starwood Energy was approved as the winning bidder after emerging as the stalking-horse bidder in the Lazard-led Section 363 bankruptcy process.
The acquisition of the 545 MW West Lorain power plant closed on March 29, 2019 through Starwood's wholly owned affiliate Edgewater Generation, LLC, from affiliates of FirstEnergy Solutions. The $144 million is the announced purchase price for the same transaction.
