Are we still considering adding ETS-owned generation at one or more of the TW  compressor stations in Arizona or NM? In case that is still a possibility,  let me pass on something we may want to follow up on. I called an old law  partner of mine from DC who is now in the generation development business  this week to have lunch and catch up. This guy says he has come up with a  good formula for getting new generation built fast and cheap. He's got an  80mw nameplate simple cycle project (two frame 6 turbines) under development  in Utah that he started development on a month ago and is projected to go in  service on July 1. Pretty quick work compared to other projects I've seen. Here's his racket:  1. He gets used, first quality turbines that have been well maintained. His  Utah turbines are something like 2 year old GE units that he bought from  Tokyo Electric (he said they had 4000 hours on them and were maintained in  typical electric utility gold plated style). He didn't say, but I suspect  there is no warranty on the units. Obviously, this isn't a bold new  strategy, but this guy claims to have a good handle on available used  equipment. 2. His siting/permitting strategy is to use "brownfield" sites--i.e.,

Överväger vi fortfarande att lägga till ETS-ägd generation på en eller flera av TW-kompressorstationerna i Arizona eller NM? Om det fortfarande är en möjlighet, låt mig föra vidare något som vi kanske vill följa upp. Jag ringde en gammal advokatpartner från DC som nu är i generationsutvecklingsbranschen den här veckan för att äta lunch och komma ikapp. Den här killen säger att han har kommit på en bra formel för att få ny generation byggd snabbt och billigt. Han har ett 80mw namnskylt enkelt cykelprojekt (två ram 6 turbiner) under utveckling i Utah som han började utvecklas på för en månad sedan och beräknas gå i tjänst den 1 juli. Ganska snabbt arbete jämfört med andra projekt jag sett. Här är hans racket: 1. Han blir van, första kvalitet turbiner som har varit väl underhållna. Hans Utahturbiner är ungefär som 2 år gamla GE-enheter som han köpte från Tokyo Electric (han sade att de hade 4000 timmar på sig och var underhållna i typisk elektrisk nyttoförgylld stil). Han sa inget, men jag misstänker att det inte finns någon garanti på enheterna. Det här är ingen djärv ny strategi, men han säger sig ha ett bra grepp om tillgänglig begagnad utrustning. 2. Hans siting/tillåtande strategi är att använda "brownfield" platser--dvs,
