OMPA will begin construction of a new gas-fired power plant in January of 2014. The Charles D. Lamb Energy Center will be constructed on a site comprised of 160-acres in Kay County, Oklahoma. The site is approximately six miles north of Ponca City and seven miles east of Blackwell, on the north side of State Highway 11.
The plant will utilize approximately 35 to 40 acres, with the remainder of the property continuing as the farming application that currently exists. The size of the site will allow OMPA to add additional units, if needed, in the future.
The plant will have a generating capability of 103 megawatts and will be used primarily for peaking power. Peaking
power is power that is produced due to the high demand for electricity during the summer months. The plant will be a quick-start plant and will have very little noise, due to the sound minimizing barrier around the turbine.
This site was chosen due to the location of an existing natural gas pipeline and a recently built 345,000-volt transmission line. The gas line will allow for fuel supply to reach the plant, while the high voltage transmission line will allow the power to immediately be delivered into the state-wide transmission grid. Water for the plant will be supplied by the Ponca City Utility Authority. The plant will be operated by the OMPA Power Production Department.
