Project Overview
Greenland Energy Center (GEC) has been constructed just south and west of the State road 9A/9B corridor. GEC uses clean, efficient technology to enhance JEA’s electric system generation and reliability. Click here for a fact sheet on Greenland Energy Center.
The initial phase of GEC has been the construction of two natural gas-fired simple cycle combustion turbine units (CT1 and CT2) that became operational in 2011.

The second previously planned phase has been suspended. The need for second phase conversion of these simple cycle units to a combined cycle combustion turbine will be reevaluated as conditions warrant. The conversion would have involved the installation of heat recovery equipment on the two simple cycle combustion turbines to capture enough heat energy to run a steam turbine (ST3).
The potential capacity of GEC, upon completion of the second phase, would be 553 megawatts of power.
