IMG’s Tiny NatGas-Fired Electric Plants Take Off in the Marcellus
MDN first told you about IMG Midstream in August 2014 (see 7 Small Marcellus-Powered Electric Plants Coming to NEPA). At the time, IMG was proposing to build seven "tiny" natural gas-fired electric plants--each plant producing on the order of 20-22 megawatts of electricity (enough to power 13,000 homes). IMG added a couple of more to their plans in November 2014 (see Details on IMG’s “Tiny” Marcellus-Powered Electric Plants in NEPA). The beauty of IMG's tiny natgas electric plants is that they are really small--about the size of a basketball court; they produce almost no air pollution; and they are quiet. It's a really cool concept. We spotted an update on IMG in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. IMG's very first tiny electric plant, in Susquehanna County, PA, went online last October. The second plant, in Bradford County, PA, went online last week. The former 9 planned plants has now ballooned. IMG plans to have 25 plants operating within the next five years!...
