Description
The Valley Generating Station was constructed in 1953 by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to provide electricity for Greater Los Angeles.[1]
Between 2001 and 2004, the power station was modernized with the construction of two GE Frame 7FA combustion turbines, two Alstom heat recovery steam generators, and a single GE steam turbine. Modernization of the then 50-year old power station was a major component of the LADWP's Integrated Resource Plan, which had been approved by the Los Angeles City Council in 2000. The project was completed on April 30, 2004.[3][4]
