Halton Hills Generating Station is a natural gas-fired combined cycle electricity generating facility with a contract capacity of 631.5 MW to be built along the Highway 401-407 Industrial Corridor in the Town of Halton Hills.
The proposed facility is based on a 2x1 configuration consisting of two “F” class combustion turbine generators (CTG), each exhausting into its respective heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with the combined steam supplying a single steam turbine generator.
Each CTG/HRSG can operate separately. An air cooled condenser has been selected for steam cycle cooling. The HRSGs incorporate natural gas fuelled duct burners which can be used to increase steam production for additional output from the steam turbine generator.
The plant will be connected to Hydro One 230 kV circuits T38B and T39B between Halton Transformer Station and Hornby Junction to feed into the Ontario electricity market administrated by the Independent Electricity System Operator.
