By musiclover - Thu Jan 20, 1:41 pm

New York utility regulators on Thursday approved the construction of a $1.4 billion natural gas-fired power plant by NRG Energy Inc’s (NRG.N) in New York City that will replace an older facility.

The proposed 1,040-megawatt plant would replace an existing 600-MW facility in Queens built in 1970-71, the state Public Service Commission said in a release.

“This project will replace older units with state-of-the-art combined-cycle units operating primarily on natural gas,” Commission Chairman Garry Brown said in the release.
