Shell signed an agreement to buy 100% of RISEC Holdings' 609-megawatt (MW) two-unit combined-cycle gas turbine power plant located near Providence, Rhode Island. Which we find interesting---that Rhode Island (of all places) still has a large gas-fired power plant operating. We thought the commies who run Rhode Island would have killed such a plant long ago! But no. Shell bought the plant out of self-interest. The company supplies natural gas to the plant. So now, Shell is the owner and customer all wrapped up in one.
