During construction, the Good Spring NGCC power project will employ approximately
500 workers for two years culminating in dozens of full time positions for plant operations. The economic impact to the surrounding area is expected to be more than $1 billion over 15 years.
The Natural Gas Combined Cycle power plant will use the latest turbine technology for efficient operations to supply enough electricity for approximately 300,000 households.
Jim Palumbo, President of Future Power Pennsylvania Inc. ("FPPI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of EmberClear, reports the Good Spring NGCC project is on schedule to commission in 2015. The project is expected to break ground in 2013.
"We expect the U.S. natural gas-based power market to rapidly expand over the next decade, especially in the Marcellus Shale geography where Good Spring NGCC is situated. SK E & C has been adding jobs in the U.S. in response and preparation for this opportunity," said Keith Clause, Chief Executive Officer, SK E&C USA.
Frank Zukas, President of the Schuylkill Economic Development Corporation ("SEDCO") in eastern Pennsylvania, believes the Good Spring plant will be a great addition to the region for many reasons.
"This assures affordable power and cleaner air for the future. Also, the new wave of gas power plants supports a healthier and more sustainable job market opportunity for the Commonwealth," Zukas said.
"Projects of this nature require the scale and experience of an engineering, procurement and construction company such as SK E&C USA in order to bring all the other requisite parties to finance, contract, and perform the construction of this great asset," explained Albert Lin, CEO of EmberClear. "We look forward to further progress in maximizing this region of the USA's natural gas abundance, skilled workers, and demand for low-emissions power."
