MVP Project Team
MVP's principals have extensive experience and demonstrated success developing plunt~
tailored to address specific client needs. They have played key roles originat ing und
developmg projects in the past several years. These include the St. Francis (MO) Unit I und
Unit II - 250MW combined cycle units for ABCI and Duke, both operating; Bridgepon
Harbor (CT) - a 520MW combined cycle plant for Duke and United llluminutin~.
operating; Smarr (GA) - a 230MW simple cycle and Sewell Creek (GA), - a 4 t 7MW
simple cycle plant for Oglethorpe Power, both operating; Kingman (AZ) - a 600M
combined cycle plant for PPL Global, operating; Blythe (CA) - a 520MW combined cycle
plant for Wisconsin Energy (sold to CaithnesslFPL Energy), in construction; and Culvert
City (KY) - a 160MW combined cycle plant for Westlake Chemicals, permitted.
Given today s dynamic development environment, MVP's integrated staff is ideatly suited
to identify and manage risks and to quickly respond on behalf of a project owner. For
example, when the Oglethorpe Power Cooperative Board determined in August of 1999
that peaking resources were desperately needed by the very next summer, we helped
identify and permit the site, procure long lead-time equipment, develop a pipeline lateral
and unique gas supply contract, and coordinate the overall effort. This resulted in 220M
of new capacity in less than ten months. When Westlake Chemical Group needed a new
140MW power contract, we solicited a 5-year supply contract while designing and
permitting a new combined cycle project.
MVP is further supported by an engineering and construction contractor alliance (lJowcr
Engineers Collaborative/AZCO), an established environmental firm well-veJ'Sl.-d in Idaho
power projects (Greystone Environmental), and a leading local and National Bunk (Key
Bank). Greystone, with key offices in Sacramento, Calgary, Blythe.CA and Denver. will
