The plant is powered by nine Caterpillar G16CM34 natural gasfired reciprocating engines with a combined generating capacity of 53MW. The plant is owned by Basin Creek Equity Partners, LLC and was designed and built under an EPC contract with Caterpillar Power Generation Systems.
The plant will provide electricity under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement to North Western Energy Corporation, the utility serving Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. The WEG GSU power transformer provides the vital link between the power plant and Northwestern transmission line.
