The original coal-fired plant entered commercial service in 1977, and the new carbon emissions reduction system was first put into operation on January 10, 2017. The project was designed to annually capture approximately 33% of the carbon dioxide (CO 2) (or 1.6 million tonnes) emissions from the plant's boiler #8. [2] [3]

Operating in a semiarid region with a limited water supply, engineers developed a recycling system to reduce water use at Plant X. A pipeline was constructed to send Plant X blowdown water (used water from plant operations) for treatment and recycling at the nearby Tolk Station, a coal-fired power plant located 15 km (9.3 mi) to the west.
With automatic systems, many units in a system can participate in regulation, reducing wear on a single unit's controls and improving overall system efficiency, stability, and economy. Where the grid has tie interconnections to adjacent control areas, automatic generation control helps maintain the power interchanges over the tie lines at the ...
BFI was founded in Houston, Texas.The company was initially known as American Refuse Systems, and it opened its first landfill in 1968.
