Southern Power announced Tuesday that the second combined cycle unit of the Mankato Energy Center expansion in Mankato, Minn., is complete.
Mankato Energy Center now includes two natural gas, combined cycle units and can produce up to 760 megawatts of generation.
“The completion of the Mankato Energy Center expansion represents an incredible accomplishment for our employees and partners involved with the project,” Southern Power President Bill Grantham said. “Together, the team applied their considerable skills and expertise to make the project a success while demonstrating a strong commitment to safety.”
The expansion created 250 jobs during construction and was completed on time and under budget, Southern Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, noted in a press release.
Southern Power recently announced that it reached an agreement to sell the Mankato Energy Center to Xcel Energy-Minnesota for $650 million. Xcel Energy is the customer under two 20-year power purchase agreements. The sale is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2019.
