Fairburn

Williams announced plans to develop a 1,230 MW gas-fired power plant near Fairburn, GA, to support a power supply deal the company signed with customers in the state. The plant is scheduled for completion in 2004. “This new facility will assist us in developing our growing portfolio of power agreements in Georgia,” said Bill Hobbs, president of Williams energy marketing. “We recently announced full-requirements power agreement with several Georgia Electric Membership Corporations and this new facility will strategically fit our plan to expand our power portfolio in this market, as well as all of the southeast.” The permitting is expected to take approximately one year to complete before construction of the plant will begin.
