The steam and electricity generated this fall at Great River Energy’s Spiritwood Station will be short lived. Staff at the plant has started the commissioning process, which will lead to a roughly 60-day run this fall before shutting down the plant.

Plant to be online in 2012
SPIRITWOOD, N.D. — Great River Energy’s coal-fired heat and power plant, Spiritwood Station, is expected to go online commercially Jan. 1, 2012.
The plant is close to being completed and construction is planned to resume in April, according to Dennis Pozarnsky, GRE’s construction site and plant manager. A six-man crew of six finished some cleanup work, mostly removing scaffolding and other signs of construction, in mid-December. From April to June, Pozarnsky said about 100 workers will complete the last portion of the work.

GRE’s gentler pace
SPIRITWOOD, N.D. — With the deadline pushed back to January 2012, construction on Great River Energy’s $276 million Spiritwood Station, a power plant generating electricity and steam heat, has slowed its pace.
In March, GRE planned to ramp up to about 500 workers to meet the original startup date of Oct. 1. The crews had begun working two shifts 24/7 on the heat and power plant in September. With the new date to be up and running, the number of construction workers has dropped to 350 and the hours of work reduced.
