Reciprocating Engine Plant Proves Value During Hurricane Ida Recovery

Amid the damage and disruption caused by Hurricane Ida in New Orleans, a bright spot stands out. The New Orleans Power Station (NOPS), a 128-megawatt reciprocating engine power generating facility designed and built by Burns & McDonnell, performed as designed. The NOPS was the first local plant back online, thanks to black start capability that brought power back to many sections of the city well before grid repairs were complete.
