Two steam generation units and three combustion turbine generators. When using natural gas, they burn 27,264,000 cubic feet a day at full load. Unit 1 was completed July 1, 1952. Unit 2 was completed on June 1, 1954. The three gas turbines were constructed in the early 1970s.
Kyrene units add critical power to meet peak power demands.
Kyrene units do not run when system demand is being supplied by less-expensive energy from other power plants. Kyrene is SRP's oldest operating steam plant Kyrene Expansion Project SRP is proposing an expansion of the Kyrene facility.
