quote:It's not an expansion, it is a new plant. Just because it is next door doesn't mean an expansion, legally. Has it even been announced exactly where it is going to be located? The early rumor was that it was in another huge ag lot next to the one the PGV lease is in. This is going to be years in the construction, so if all you hear is quiet, then nothing has started. There is probably a formal start of construction needed from PUC and they are looking at a lot of shuffling. The 25MW from this new plant will not be tied to ACC and will be sold by PGV to HELCO at industry rate of around 10 cents/kilowatt-hour.

I hear they are working on the new PGV expansion already. Do we know when its scheduled to be operational?
