The Los Esteros Critical Energy Facility (LECEF) is a simple-cycle “peaker” power plant generating a nominal 190 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The current simple-cycle facility was licensed as Phase I of a two-phase project, with Phase II to consist of a conversion to a more-efficient combined-cycle operation. The modified LECEF Phase II facility will have a nominal output of 320 MW with the addition of a steam cycle.
