In February, MDN brought you the news that utility giant Duke Energy plans to build a gigantic natural gas-fired power plant next to another planned gas-fired plant at the existing coal-fired Roxboro Plant on Hyco Lake, in Person County, NC (see Duke Energy Seeks to Build 2 Massive Gas-Fired Power Plants in NC). Each plant would generate 1,360 megawatts (MW) of electricity. Now comes word of yet another pair of gas-fired plants Duke wants to build, but in a different location — in Catawba County. These two new plants together would generate a combined 850 MW (much smaller than the Person County plants) and would also replace coal-fired plants there now. Marcellus/Utica molecules would be needed to feed them.
