California Calpine Sutter plant returns

LOS ANGELES, June 1 (Reuters) - The 530-megawatt Sutter natural gas-fired power plant owned by Calpine (CPN.N) was back near full production on Monday after begin curtailed by 275 MW for the weekend, the California Independent System Operator said.

The Sutter station opened in 2001 near Yuba City in Sutter County about 40 miles (65 km) north of Sacramento. It is a combined-cycle natural gas-fired plant with two 175-MW combustion turbines and one 180-MW steam turbine.

A megawatt in Northern California can supply about 700 homes. (Reporting by Bernie Woodall; Editing by Gary Hill)
