Case Study
Bayonne Cogeneration

This was one of the first CCGT cogeneration plants in the Northeast. The original developer was Cogen Technologies. In September 2004, Newmarket Power Co, a jointly owned subsidiary of MMC Energy and Morris Energy Group, acquired the facility. The plant is grid-connected at 138kV. Bayonne supplies all required steam for IMTT’s NJ based operation.
