Dubbed “IPP Renewed,” the project project includes the retirement of the existing coal-fueled units at the IPP site; installation of new natural gas-fueled electricity generating units capable of utilizing hydrogen for 840 megawatts net generation output; modernization of IPP’s Southern Transmission System linking IPP to Southern California; and the development of hydrogen production and long-term storage capabilities. Upon buildout of these facilities (see “Project Schedule”), IPP will use renewable energy-powered electrolysis to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, storing the latter in underground salt caverns for use as fuel to drive electricity-generating turbines. The new natural gas generating units will be designed to utilize 30 percent hydrogen fuel at start-up, transitioning to 100 percent hydrogen fuel by 2045 as technology improves.
