AES Puerto Rico, L.P. Life Extension and CCUS Feasibility — AES Puerto Rico, L.P. (Guayama, Puerto Rico) plans to retrofit and modernize the Guayama plant, an existing coal-fired plant with a total capacity of 510 megawatts (MW), to ensure continued operation. The effort also includes a carbon capture and utilization system front-end engineering design study for a post-combustion carbon dioxide capture system.

DOE Funding: $164,500,000
Non-DOE Funding: $655,400,000
Total Value: $819,900,000
 

AES Warrior Run Generating Plant — AES Warrior Run (Cumberland, Maryland) plans to recommission the Warrior Run Generating Plant, a 205 MW clean-coal facility that ceased operations in 2024. The project focuses on reactivating existing equipment through routine maintenance and repairs needed to resume operations. The effort will also assess the feasibility of adding a carbon capture, utilization, and storage component to the plant.
