Fast-start peaking and reliability generation, engineered for the duck-curve era.
Natural gas remains the most flexible firm-capacity resource on the California grid — and the one renewable penetration most depends on. Our gas facilities are designed for fast ramps, low-emission starts, and the kind of dispatch profile a battery-heavy grid actually needs: many short runs, sharp peaks, and instant response when the sun goes behind a cloud.
Every facility we operate clears the most stringent air districts in the country. Several have been recognized by SCAQMD for emissions performance below permit limits over years of operation.
"The peakers we ran in 1990 ramped in an hour. The ones we commission now ramp in five minutes — and that's the only reason solar gets to do its job."
End-to-end. Site identification, interconnection studies, AFC permitting through CEC, EPC contracting, commissioning, and a hand-off to our own O&M crew. The team that draws the one-line is the team monitoring it at 2 a.m. in August.
