Document Description
The proposed French Valley Energy Center (FVEC) will be a peak period generator capable of producing up to 49 megawatts of power (enough to supply ~38,000 households). The primary structure on the site will be a GE LM6000 gas turbine generator. The generator structure covers ~8,400 sf and is ~70 ft tall at the exhaust stack. Four pre-fabricated steel buildings of various sizes will be constructed to house administration, controls, and maintenance equipment. These will vary in size from 650 to 4,200 sf, totaling ~10,400 sf. 12.5 acres on the western portion of the 7.5 acres on the eastern portion of the parcel will be developed as part of the FVEC project. The remaining 7.5 acres on the eastern portion of the parcel will be preserved as permanent open space.
