Santee Cooper is selling the design and major components for a 600-megawatt coal-fired power plant. The plant was slated for Kingsburg, South Carolina but was cancelled. I heard about this primo investment opportunity from the Sierra Club, who had been actively fighting construction of the plant. The Sierra Club's Sierra Daily have posted an ad from Power Engineering magazine promising that the huge steam turbine and other accoutrements are "priced to move. Quickly." From the sale page at Santee Cooper:
This Unit 1 power block is a coal-fired electric generating unit comprising a nominal 600 MW GE steam turbine, tandem-compound 4-flow single reheat unit with throttle conditions of 3500 psig, 1050°F/1100°F. The Alstom steam generator is rated at approximately 4,650,000 lbs per hour capable of burning bituminous coal only or a combination of bituminous coal and petcoke (up to a 70%/30% blend). Coal pulverizers have significant design margin operating at ~70% for MCR firing…
Included with the block procurement of the equipment listed for sale is the design documentation of the power block. This includes all drawings, specifications, calculations, 3D modeling etc at the stage that currently exists. For sale separately are the continued services of the engineer of record for this design.
"For Sale: One Coal Plant – Priced to Move!" (Sierra Club, thanks, Oril Cotel!)
