The Whitehorn Generating Station is a power plant near Blaine, Washington, owned by Puget Sound Energy and located immediately west of BP's Cherry Point Refinery. The plant comprises two 75 MW natural gas-fueled combustion turbines.[1]

History[]

The Whitehorn generating station began operation in 1974, with a single 60 MW combustion turbine. Two additional 75 MW turbines, Whitehorn 2 and 3, were added in 1981. The 60 MW turbine ceased operation in 2000.[1] Puget Sound Energy purchased the previously-leased turbines in 2009.[2]
