7-31 HRAP dated June 26, 2015

Proposed diesel use...

 7-31     HRAP states that diesel use is being proposed up to 60 days / year.  However, subsequent HRA states that diesel will only be fired 720 hours/year or 30 days on page 4 (which represents a decrease from amount stated in HRAP).  However, page 5/Section 2.1 of HRA states that turbines will be permitted for up to 60 days of diesel firing.  Please clarify inconsistent statements.

RESPONSE 7-31

 

Invenergy is not proposing an annual limit on the number of days of combustion turbine ULSD usage per year nor is Invenergy proposing individual ULSD usage limits for each turbine.  Invenergy is proposing to limit total ULSD usage by both combustion turbines to the equivalent usage of 60 days at base load.  This will be calculated by multiplying the maximum single turbine ULSD usage rate at base load (gallons per hour) times 24 hours per day (gallons per day) times 60 days (gallons per 60 days).
