 The proposed location for Greenland Energy Center is just south and west of the State road 9A/proposed 9B corridor. Greenland Energy Center (GEC) will use clean, efficient technology to enhance JEA’s electric system generation and reliability. Click here for a fact sheet on the proposed Greenland Energy Center.
Greenland Energy Center (GEC), as proposed, will be built in two phases. The initial phase will be the construction of two natural gas-fired simple cycle combustion turbine units (CT1 and CT2) that are proposed to be operational June 2010.

The second phase will convert these simple cycle units to a combined cycle combustion turbine. Heat recovery equipment will be installed on the two simple cycle combustion turbines to capture enough heat energy to run a steam turbine (ST3). This phase is proposed to be operational in 2012 or 2013.
Upon completion of the GEC, the generating station will be capable of producing 553 megawatts of power.

A public meeting was held on April 15, 2008 at Mandarin High School, 4831 Greenland Road, to inform area residents about plans to build a new natural gas-fired power plant in the area. If you were unable to attend the meeting, would like additional information or would like to schedule a JEA representative to come talk to your homeowners association or other group about the proposal, please call Project Outreach at (904) 665-7500 or email us at projectoutreach@jea.com.
