The transaction will add 1,019 megawatts (MW) of primarily coal- and oil-fired generating capacity to PSEG Power’s 12,000-MW operating portfolio at a purchase price of $220 million (plus adjustments for various approved expenditures, fuel, and inventory). The acquisition also marks Power’s entry into the New England wholesale market. The transaction, pending necessary federal regulatory approvals, is expected to close this fall. Wisvest and Wisvest-Connecticut LLC are subsidiaries of Wisconsin Energy Corporation. Frank Cassidy, PSEG Power president and chief operating officer, said the Wisvest-CT purchase “will strengthen our portfolio and enhance our strategic position as a major player in targeted energy markets.” Cassidy said PSEG Power “looks forward to joining the Connecticut business community. We will bring to Connecticut our strong tradition of environmental responsibility and corporate citizenship. Our intention is to operate these assets over the long-term in a manner that supports the reliability and competitiveness of energy markets in Connecticut and New England while helping the state and region achieve their environmental goals.” Ed Sondey, director of Power’s development group, said the transaction also represents “an important step in the company’s ability to find value and follow through on opportunities for growth under difficult market conditions.” The generating assets consist of baseload, intermediate, and peaking facilities. Bridgeport Harbor Station, located on the west shore of Bridgeport Harbor in Bridgeport, includes three units; a 375-MW coal-fired unit (oil backup) which is the largest coal-fired unit in Connecticut and the third-largest in New England; a 159-MW oil-fired unit; and a 19-MW combustion turbine peaking unit. A fourth unit at the site is in deactivated reserve. New Haven Harbor Station is located on the east shore of New Haven Harbor in New Haven and consists of one unit, a 466-MW oil-fired facility that also has the capability to burn natural gas at up to 40% of capacity. It is one of the most efficient oil-fired units operating in New England. Wisvest-CT currently employs 179 persons including 117 represented by Local 470-1 of the Utility Workers Union. PSEG Power will honor all existing labor agreements. Wisvest-Connecticut LLC was created in 1999 when the Bridgeport Harbor and New Haven Harbor assets were acquired from United Illuminating Company by Wisvest, Wisconsin Energy Corporation’s non-regulated subsidiary. In addition to the $220 million purchase price, the agreement calls for adjustments of up to $20 million for various approved expenditures made prior to closing as well as closing adjustments for fuel and inventory. Power anticipates financing the transaction through strong internal cash flow as well as a combination of debt and equity. The transaction is subject to various federal approvals prior to closing. PSEG Power is one of the largest independent power producers and energy trading companies in the U.S. It currently owns 12,000 MW of operating electric generating capacity and has approximately 4,000 MW of capacity under construction or advanced development. Its primary market focus is a region that extends from Maine to the Carolinas and as far west as Ohio and Indiana. The company has been recognized numerous times by government, regulatory, and environmental organizations for its environmental leadership and is the strongest electric industry advocate for a national system of more stringent power plant pollution emission standards, including mandatory carbon dioxide reductions. Power is a subsidiary of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG/NYSE:PEG), a diversified energy holding company with more than $25 billion in assets. PSEG’s three main subsidiaries are Power, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), the oldest and largest electric and gas distribution utility in New Jersey, and PSEG Energy Holdings, a holding company for PSEG’s other nonregulated assets. PSEG has its headquarters in Newark, NJ. (For additional information, please see the accompanying fact sheet.)

  • The New Haven Harbor
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1984 Volume VI: Geology and the Industrial History of Connecticut Gateway to New Haven: The New Haven Harbor Curriculum Unit 84.06.10 by Carolyn C. Smith There are many theories as to the origin of our vast universe. As we know, the earth has been around for billions of years. Looking around us we can’t help but question how this creation of our planet came to be as it is today. Through experience and past knowledge it has been brought out that there are three major forces which are responsible for our land formations: 1) glaciers, 2) volcanoes, and 3) water. The purpose of this unit is to show how the geographical location of the New Haven Harbor has affected the lives of the people living in New Haven by focusing our attention on the phenomena of nature which has been prevailing for millions of years. When this unit is completed the students will: 1. Know how the early settlers made use of the New Haven Harbor. 2. Know the three main geographical divisions of the state of Connecticut and how they came to be. 3. Be able to discuss the Triassic fault and what effect it has on the New Haven Harbor. 4. Know how the channel of the New Haven Harbor has changed in the last two centuries and how these changes are affecting our social and economic growth today. 5. Know what proposals the city of New Haven has made to protect the New Haven Harbor for future use.
