Edgewood Energy LLC - Gas Power Plant in New York, United States

Edgewood Energy LLC is a gas-fired power plant with a capacity of 100 megawatts (MW), located in New York, United States. The facility is operational and owned by Edgewood Energy LLC. As a gas power plant, it contributes to the region's electricity generation mix, which includes a variety of sources such as natural gas, nuclear, and renewables. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its associated programs such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the Acid Rain Program, and the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). These regulations govern emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and other pollutants. The plant's gas-fired technology typically results in lower emissions compared to coal-fired plants, but still requires compliance with emission limits and monitoring. Edgewood Energy LLC plays a role in meeting local electricity demand in the New York area. The plant's 100 MW capacity places it in the small to medium scale for gas power plants. Its operational status ensures continued contribution to grid stability and energy supply for the surrounding community.

The plant's gas-fired technology produces lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions compared to coal-fired plants, but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Its location in New York, a densely populated state, means that emissions are subject to stringent state and federal air quality regulations. The plant's capacity of 100 MW is relatively modest, which may limit its local environmental footprint. Proximity to populated areas could raise concerns about local air quality impacts, but modern gas plants often incorporate advanced emission control technologies.
