The Russell City Energy Center Project (RCEC) will be located in the City of Hayward (City) in Alameda County and was certified by the Energy Commission on Sept 11, 2002. On November 17, 2006, the Calpine Corporation and GE Energy Finance Services, known as the Russell City Energy Company, LLC, filed a Petition to Amend the Commission Decision to move the project location 1,300 feet northwest of the original location. The RCEC was certified to be constructed in the City's Industrial Corridor at the southwest corner of the intersection of Enterprise Avenue and Whitesell Street, directly south of the City's Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF).
As described in the Petition to Amend, the project owner plans to construct the facility on four parcels that are presently in both the City and an unincorporated area of Alameda County, directly west of the City's WPCF between Depot Road and Enterprise Avenue. California's Warren-Alquist Act (Pub. Resources Code (PRC) § 25000 et seq.), provides the Energy Commission the exclusive authority to certify thermal electric power plants of 50 MW or more within the state (Pub. Resources Code § 25120 and 25500 et seq.). Additionally, Title 20, California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 1769 authorizes the Energy Commission to approve amendments and modifications to those facilities it has certified. The amendment process includes an evaluation of the engineering and environmental impacts of the modified project and whether it will remain in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, and standards (LORS).
