Typically these are simple-cycle power plants that can be constructed in a relatively small area, do not require water supplies for cooling, and can readily be connected to the existing transmission and natural gas system. The Governor directed the Energy Commission to use its emergency power plant permitting authority under Public Resources Code 25705 to permit new peaking and renewable power plants that could be online by September 30, 2001.<br /></div><div style='font-family: inherit;'><br /></div><div style='font-family: inherit;'>For more information about Peaker Projects contact:</div><div style='font-family: inherit;'>Joe Douglas</div><div style='font-family: inherit;'>Compliance Project Manager</div><div style='font-family: inherit;'>STEP Division</div><div style='font-family: inherit;'>916-653-4677</div><div style='font-family: inherit;'>[e-mail]</div><div style='font-family: inherit;'><br /></div>
