Fremont Energy Center, completed earlier this month, is a natural gas combined cycle generation plant with two natural gas turbines and a steam turbine capable of producing 544 megawatts of load-following capacity and 163 MW of peaking capacity, FirstEnergy said.

FirstEnergy acquired the partially completed plant in January 2008 from Calpine Corp (CPN.N) in its bankruptcy proceeding.
