CPV Valley Energy Center
Orange County, United States
The 1109th largest power station in the world
CPV Valley Energy Center is a power plant in Wawayanda, New York, operated by Competitive Power Ventures (CPV). The 675-megawatt natural gas-fired plant came online in 2018 despite opposition from area residents. CPV was acquired by Israel's OPC Energy in 2021. OPC, partnered with three Israeli institutional investors, agreed in October 2020 to acquire 100% of CPV from Global Infrastructure Partners, (GIP), and now fully owns CPV's operating assets, development pipeline, and asset management business. OPC is a subsidiary of Israeli firm Kenon Holdings Ltd., which is a corporate spin off of Israel Corporation. The CPV Valley Energy Center was one of the three natural gas-fired plants in the New York metropolitan area that came online to support electricity needs before the decommission of the last nuclear reactor of the Indian Point Energy Center in 2021. The other two plants were Bayonne Energy Center II (120 MW) and Cricket Valley Energy Center (1, 020 MW).
