SCE/Chevron 590-MW Sunrise power plant returns
LOS ANGELES, May 3 (Reuters) - Edison Mission/Chevron-owned, 545-megawatt Sunrise natural gas-fired power plant in California was back online by Sunday afternoon, the California Independent System Operator said in a report.
The plant was offline for about four days.
Edison Mission, a subsidiary of power company Edison International (EIX.N) of Rosemead, California, and oil company Chevron Corp (CVX.N) of San Ramon, California, each own half of Sunrise Power.
It is run by Edison Mission.
The combined-cycle generating plant is located in Fellows in Kern County about 35 miles southwest of Bakersfield, California, and 130 miles north of Los Angeles. There are two 150 MW gas turbines and one 245 MW steam turbine at the station.
One MW powers about 700 homes in California.
Edison International, of Rosemead, California, owns and operates about 14,000 MW of generating capacity, markets energy commodities in North America, and transmits and distributes electricity to about 4.8 million customers in central and Southern California. (Reporting by Bernie Woodall)
