Salem Harbor Combined Cycle (674 MW): Advanced engineering for energy transition in Massachusetts

USA

The Salem Harbor Combined Cycle, with an installed capacity of 674 MW, represents a modern and efficient solution located near Boston, Massachusetts. This Salem Harbor Combined Cycle replaces the former coal-fired Salem Harbor Station and is capable of supplying electricity to 280,000 residents. Built by IEP (Iberdrola Energy Projects) for Footprint Power, the plant features a two-block 1×1 “Fast Response” configuration with GE 7F.05 gas turbines. IDOM provided multidisciplinary detailed engineering, Professional Engineers (PEs) stamped documents, and technical and permitting support, ensuring regulatory compliance and technical excellence.

The new Salem Harbor 674-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle, constructed by IEP (Iberdrola Engineering and Procurement) for Footprint Power, is located close to the city of Boston, Massachusetts. This plant replaces the old coal- and oil-fired facilities and will supply power to over 280,000 consumers.

The plant comprises two units 1×1 (gas turbine with generator, heat recovery steam generator, and steam turbine with generator). These units have “Rapid Response” capability, due to their two US manufactured General Electric 7F 5-series gas turbines.

In addition to our normal multidisciplinary Detailed Engineering services, members of the team have also provided Professional Engineers (PEs) services to meet the specific regulatory requirements of the state of Massachusetts: the signing of certain documents and drawings. Technical Assistance during the works and Permitting Assistance are also included in the scope of work of IDOM.
