(Courtesy Photo) Lea County Electric Cooperative (LCEC) Generation, LLC was presented with POWER Magazine’s 2012 Top Plant Award during the 2013 Electric Power Conference hosted in mid-May in Chicago, Illinois. This award recognizes a plant that has entered into commercial service within the past one to two years and leads the industry in the successful deployment of advanced technology and efficiency with minimal environmental impact. LCEC was profiled in the Sept. 1, 2012 issue of POWER Magazine. LCEC Generation is a 47 Megawatt (MW) gas-fired generation plant that was completed in 2012. It consists of five Wärtsilä reciprocating engines with the ability to bring the plant to full capacity in five minutes. The plant is tied directly to a 27 MW wind farm owned by Exelon, which is located southeast of the plant. This is the first generation project in the United States to pair the Wärtsilä gensets with wind energy. Award finalists and winners were determined by POWER Magazine editors from nominations submitted by designers, constructors, operators, and suppliers of power plants. General Manager Gary L. Hurse and Lea County Electric Cooperative’s Board President John Ingle accepted the award on behalf of the LCEC Generation Plant. Several LCEC board members and others related to this project also attended the conference. Established in May 1949, LCEC is headquartered in Lovington, NM, with branch offices located in Tatum, NM and Plains, Texas. wfec 13
