NRG Energy Services has signed an agreement to provide third-party operations and maintenance services at two power power plants owned by Texas-based Golden Spread Electric Cooperative, the company said.
Golden Spread is a consumer-owned public utility with 16 member systems providing service to approximately 287,000 customers located in the Oklahoma Panhandle and an area covering the Texas Panhandle, South Plains and Edwards Plateau Regions.
The two Golden Spread facilities – Mustang, a 958 MW natural gas turbine plant in Denver City, TX, and Antelope Elk Energy Center, a 744 MW natural gas facility in Abernathy, TX – will add to the nine other generating stations under the O&M responsibilities of services, representing a 9,200 MW portfolio, NRG said.
“We believe that NRG’s strong industry experience and vast resources that provide top tier operations to its own large fleet of assets will provide significant benefit to Golden Spread’s members by bringing the same experience and resources to our generation assets,” said Jeff Pippin, vice president of production, Golden Spread.
“We look forward to our future working with NRG, a company that brings national scale and scope but also the personal customer focus to understand our mission as an electric cooperative” he added.
