A S T O R I A G E N E R A T I N G Existing Astoria Facility Introduction The Luyster Creek Energy Project The Luyster Creek Energy Project (LCEP) is a state-of-the-art repowering project designed to be the cleanest and lowest heat rate fossil fuel unit in New York City. The project will replace older less efficient generation and will reduce emissions through unit retirements and binding emission limits. LCEP, which will be a 410 MW combined cycle unit, is in the final stages of permitting. Building the project will create temporary construction jobs and 25-30 permanent union jobs. In addition, LCEP will improve the environment, use the most up-to-date electric generating technology available and provide affordable energy for New York City residents.
