TERRY BUNDY GENERATING STATION
LES’ oil- or natural gas-fired, 167-MW plant uses waste heat from two aero-derivative combustion turbines to create steam, which is used to operate a steam turbine and generate additional power in a combined-cycle configuration. A third aero-derivative combustion turbine is operated in simple cycle. The plant also has a 2-MW “Black Start” unit on-site. The combustion turbines were placed in commercial operation in 2003, with the steam turbine following in 2004.
BLUFF ROAD LANDFILL GAS TO ENERGY
LES completed construction of a 5-MW, landfill gas-generated facility in 2014. The methane fuel is supplied from the Bluff Road Landfill.
COMMUNITY SOLAR FACILITY
In 2016, LES began receiving energy from this approximately 5-MWDC/4-MWAC solar facility, located on the west edge of Lincoln, Nebraska. The project represents the first utility-scale solar facility in Nebraska and is one of the largest in the region.
