About the Seminoe Generating Station

Under development by PCW affiliate Seminoe Power Company LLC, the Seminoe Generating Station will provide approximately 2,000 MW of natural gas-fired generation. Together with the CCSM Project, the Seminoe Generating Station will provide a firm, reliable electric power supply at a size and scale that growing domestic electricity markets demand. Completed work includes engineering studies, environmental studies and air quality modeling. PCW also is actively exploring the potential for on-site carbon capture and storage; the plant will be hydrogen-capable and carbon-capture-ready.

The Seminoe Generating Station is ideally located to efficiently access Wyoming’s low-cost, abundant natural gas supply. A major natural gas pipeline corridor adjoins the site, providing access to high-capacity natural gas resources. The generation will be located on private land located south of the Town of Sinclair and co-located with existing and under-construction power infrastructure, Interstate 80 and the main UP railroad line.

The Seminoe Generating Station will offer high thermal efficiency in converting natural gas into electricity and will deploy turbines designed for fuel efficiency, operational flexibility and reduced emissions.

Like the CCSM Project, the Seminoe Generating Station will provide significant and positive financial benefits to Carbon County, to Wyoming and to the nation. For example, it will pay industrial-rate property taxes and sales/use taxes during construction and operation, providing new revenues for state, county and local government services to citizens. It will create more good construction jobs, domestic manufacturing jobs, and operations jobs in the electric power industry sector. More detailed information will be available when permit applications are filed with authorizing agencies.
