Here is some information about the project from the company’s website.

Located on a 26-acre industrial-zoned site in the town of Oxford, Connecticut, the CPV Towantic Energy Center will use clean natural gas to power two gas turbines and one steam turbine in a combined-cycle configuration. Once completed, the facility will generate
805 megawatts – enough electricity to supply power for over three quarter-million Connecticut homes.

The CPV Towantic Energy Center is being developed by Competitive Power Ventures (CPV), a company with a strong track-record of developing and managing state-of-the-art electric generating facilities that create stronger economies while preserving the environment.

CPV is proud to be working with the Oxford community to build this needed facility and help meet the energy and economic needs of southeastern Connecticut in an environmentally responsible manner.
