Cleco Power LLC has placed into service its 50-MW St. Mary Clean Energy Center in Franklin, La.
The power plant will generate energy through waste heat recovered from Cabot Corp.'s existing carbon black facility, according to an Aug. 13 news release.
"The plant brings new generation to an area of the state that has limited generation resources and strengthens electric service reliability in south Louisiana and creates eight full-time Cleco jobs," Cleco Power COO Robbie LaBorde said.
Cleco Power is a subsidiary of Cleco Corporate Holdings LLC.
