The state of California, which is trying to eliminate carbon emissions in its power sector but had to allow new gas-fired generation to make up for weather impacts on the grid this summer, is also seeing a proliferation of backup diesel-fueled generators, according to a new report. Research by consulting group M.Cubed indicates that the generator population in the Golden

Omaha Public Power District has awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for its two new planned gas-fired power stations which will support its future solar energy goals. Zachry Group will lead the building of both the Standing Bear Lake and Turtle Creek stations. The Nebraska municipal utility hopes to get both gas-fired power plants, totaling 600 MW in
