Eastern Generation Gowanus Generating Station Visit

Register

Columbia Energy Association (CEA) is organizing a visit to the Eastern Generation Gowanus Station on Friday, April 25th, for 10 students!
 
The Gowanus Generating Station is a 260-megawatt floating power plant, considered one of the largest floating generating stations in the world. Located in Gowanus Bay, Brooklyn, on the east side of the Upper New York Bay, the facility spans approximately 25 acres of piers and submerged land.  Commissioned with 32 simple-cycle combustion turbines spread equally across four generating barges, the station offers rapid-response capabilities, with the ability to start operating within 15 minutes.

The visit will be organized as following:

9.30am: departure for the generating station (located ~70min from SIPA with public transportation)
11.00am: check-in and ID check
11.10am: brief in a conference room, covering the history of Eastern Generation, how the station works, and potential professional opportunities at the company + visit around the station with a tour guide!
1.00pm: end of the visit, transportation back to SIPA
2.30pm: estimated arrival at SIPA

Note that this visit will require a proper attire: wear flat, non-slip, closed-toe shoes (no high heels, crocs, or open-toed shoes), and make sure you have long sleeve shirt and pants made of all natural fibers.
