Springs Generation Project

Riverside Public Utilities
Riverside, California

Alliance Power and Black & Veatch permitted, designed, and constructed a 40 MW distributed generation project in Riverside, California to support the Riverside Public Utilities desire to have local generation to support essential City services. The project was developed, permitted, and constructed under a highly-accelerated time frame to meet peak electricity needs in
Riverside in July 2002.


The Springs Project consists of four GE-10 gas turbines in simple-cycle operation. NOx and CO emissions are controlled through the use of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. The project was responsible for expansions to the substation to accommodate the new generation, including 13.8kV switchgear, an operations building, two new 66/13.8kV generator step-up transformers and modifications to the 66kV ring bus.

Alliance Power and Black & Veatch provided project management, permitting, engineering, procurement, and construction services for the Springs project. Alliance Power obtained all required planning and environmental permit approvals, including emission offsets, procured the generating equipment and secured the required interconnections to support the new generating facility (natural gas, electrical, water, etc.). Black & Veatch provided overall design and construction services to implement this project. PurEnergy provided initial operations and maintenance support and guidance to RPU personnel following start-up and
commissioning of the turbines.
