Sacramento MUD Constructing 500-MW Plant

LCG, Oct. 27, 2003--Construction has begun on the Sacramento Municipal Utility District's Cosumnes power plant, the first phase of which is expected to begin operating in 2005.

Cosumnes, which will be gas-fired, will have 500 megawatts of capacity initially. SMUD directors will decide next year whether another phase will be put in motion for a later date.

SMUD believes savings on the $380 million project will amount to between $15 and $25 million per year when compared with the cost of buying power on the open market. Part of the planning decision on a second phase will depend on the price outlook for natural gas. Cosumnes is being built in southeastern Sacramento County.
