The $775m combined-cycle natural gas-fired power plant is located in Waldorf, Charles County, Maryland.

SNC Lavalin Constructors will build the project, which will be operated by EthosEnergy Power Plant Services.

The project will sell its capacity, energy and ancillary services into the transmission-constrained SWMAAC zone of the PJM market, offering enough electricity for about 700,000 homes.

GE provided its FlexEfficiency 60 combined-cycle engineered equipment package for the project.

The package features two, fast-start 225MW 7F.05 gas turbine generators, one D400 steam turbine generator and two duct-fired, triple-pressure reheat heat recovery steam generators.

GE Energy Financial Services managing director and head of energy lending Carl Peterson said: "GE is pleased to continue its long relationship with CPV by providing world-class technology connected with financing attractive to debt capital markets."
