NJ Transitgrid Traction Power System

The proposed Project would include a natural gasfired electric power generating plant (referred to as the Main Facility), and the electrical lines, substations and other emergency generators to distribute the power to required areas. The Main Facility would utilize combined-cycle technology resulting in power generation capacity of 104 to 140 megawatts (MW). The preferred site for the Main Facility is in Kearny, Hudson County, New Jersey. The electrical lines would be located in Kearny, Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Weehawken, Union City, and North Bergen, New Jersey; specifically, within or adjacent to the existing Morris & Essex Rail Line between Newark, NJ and Hoboken Rail Yard; and the Hudson Bergen Light Rail Line. The Main Facility would occupy approximately 20 acres within the Koppers Koke Site and would consist primarily of a power plant with five natural gas turbines, two of which will be connected to heat recovery systems to power a steam-driven turbine. It would also include the Main Facility building, which would include a maintenance shop, locker rooms, control room, process equipment, office facilities, and other general-use spaces (approximately 32,000 square feet of working and office space), as well as a parking lot for employees, a stormwater detention pond, and a four-acre solar panel farm. An electrical yard would house project substations, transformers, and frequency converters to accommodate the different power needs of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor and NJ TRANSIT’s commuter and light rail services. Other major on-site facility components would include cooling towers, tanks and equipment for aqueous ammonia (used for emissions controls), two black start reciprocating engines, and service and fire water. Security fencing and other security measures would be installed at the site.
