Vestas did not disclose financial details of the order, from Alta Wind Holdings, a subsidiary of Terra-Gen Power LLC – it sealed a $1.2-billion financing deal for four wind power projects at its Alta Wind Energy Center in Kern County, Calif…A weekend steam leak at a southern Indiana power plant prompted its operator to temporarily take the coal-fired facility offline so that workers can check all of its units for similar problems. Ohio Valley Electrical Corp. shut down all six of the 1,230-megawatt Clifty Creek plant’s units as a precaution Saturday after a boiler tube failed in one unit and steam began leaking. Those boiler tubes carry superheated high-pressure steam to the plant’s power-generating turbines – each of the plant’s six boilers have 112 boiler tubes and workers are inspecting all of those for problems. The Ohio River plant’s absence hasn’t left the power grid short of electricity because the recession has reduced demand and there is enough power. Environmentalists have called the plant one of the Indiana’s dirtiest in terms of its air emissions. It began producing electricity in 1955.
