GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY, WA-Construction has begun on the Grays Harbor Energy Facility, a $300-million power generating facility expected to supply electricity to Washington and the regional wholesale market by mid-2003.

The natural gas-fired plant, located in the Satsop Development Park, is expected to supply enough energy to light and heat roughly 600,000 households, significantly increasing the availability of power in the region.

“Although the energy crisis does not get the attention it received a few months ago, our state and region still lack sufficient supplies of reliable power,” U.S. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington says in a news release. “Duke Energy’s new plant at Satsop will generate 600 megawatts of much needed power, as well as family-wage jobs for Grays Harbor County. I commend Duke Energy and the Satsop Public Development Authority for making this project possible.”
