Finland Providing Tech for Gas Peaker Plant in Madisonville, KY

In August, MDN told you about a tiny new gas-fired power plant coming to Kentucky (see Gas Peaker Planned for Madisonville, KY to Aid Unreliable Renewables). The Kentucky Municipal Energy Agency (KYMEA) and the City of Madisonville announced the development of the KYMEA Energy Center I, a 75-megawatt peaker natural gas electric generating facility to be located in Madisonville. The facility will supplement (make possible) unreliable renewable energy that can’t meet sudden increases in demand for electricity. We have some details about the technology that will be used in the plant---tech that will come from Finland, of all places.
