Reducing Emissions with Clean Combined-Cycle Generation
Hillabee Generating Station uses innovative combined-cycle technology to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact in Alabama. This three-unit, 753-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle natural gas-fueled power plant, owned and operated by Constellation, is located in Tallapoosa County near Alexander City, Alabama.
Hillabee went into full commercial operation in 2009. Fueled by clean-burning natural gas and combined-cycle technology, the plant recycles heat exhaust to create additional electricity with minimal waste and less water usage. Selective Catalytic Reduction technology further reduces nitrogen oxide emissions, supporting cleaner air for the region.
