San Francisco International Airport Combustion Turbine Project

San Francisco International Airport Combustion Turbine Project

The project is a 48 MW natural gas-fired, simple-cycle power plant. The proposed plant would consist of a single combustion turbine-generator linked with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emission control system, and an 85-foot-tall exhaust stack. Auxiliary onsite equipment includes a cooling tower, gas compressor, switchyard, emissions control equipment, two water storage tanks, and a plant services building. The project would connect with the SFIA electrical distribution network through an underground 115 kV electrical transmission line extending for 1.05 miles from the plant to its terminus, adjacent to South Airport Boulevard, where it connects to substations BA and CA. Along that route, the project transmission line would also connect with a new PG&E switchyard and a new project substation (CB Substation) both located along North Access Road. The project would also include a new, 0.95-mile-long natural gas pipeline that would run within the North Access Road right-of-way to connect with PG&E Line 101 at a location near South Airport Boulevard. Water for the plant would be supplied by the SFIA potable water system, and wastewater would be sent to the SFIA Mel Leong Wastewater Treatment Plant (MLWTP) adjacent to the project site.
