Everyone recalls the recent hot summer days and surge in energy demands. The California Energy Commission has estimated that the State needs to build 19 new power plants to meet California's growing energy needs. Carlsbad has an edge in local reliability with NRG West's proposed power plant. The new, cutting edge technology will feature extremely fast - 10 minutes startups versus the traditional 6 to 12 hour startup times - providing a reliable backup power source to California's renewable resources, like wind and solar generation, which may not be available during peak electrical demand times.
As our region and California as a whole continue to experience dramatic energy demand growth, NRG West is implementing environmentally superior energy production solutions that also meet Carlsbad's future vision.
