LCG, May 7, 2002--Calpine Corp. has announced that a natural gas-fired plant has come into operation.

British Columbia Hydro & Power Authority has a 20-year contract to purchase power from the plant. The plant also has a 20-year agreement to supply about 90 tons of steam hourly to the Norske Canada pulp and paper mill. Calpine, which purchased Island Cogeneration from Westcoast Energy Inc. in September of 2001, reports that this form of natural gas-fired generation is 40 percent more fuel efficient than older gas-fired plants.
