SEDALIA, MO, July 14, 2025 – PROENERGY has been awarded a contract to develop, construct, own, and operate the New Brunswick Power Corporation (NB Power) Renewable Integration and Grid Security (RIGS) project in Centre Village. The facility—a 400 MW PowerFLX installation driven by eight aeroderivative turbines—will operate under a power purchase agreement with NB Power as the offtaker for 25 years.

The facility will maximize the potential of the province’s renewable investment. It will provide the reliable backup support that wind and solar generation requires in addition to providing grid stability.

“At NB Power, our commitment is to provide secure and sustainable energy for New Brunswickers. Launching this generation expansion project addresses the pressing need to enhance our grid’s reliability and security to meet the unprecedented growth in energy demand,” said Lori Clark, President, CEO & Chief Nuclear Officer. “Partnering to secure additional electricity and capacity through this project ensures we can confidently navigate the energy transition, providing New Brunswickers with the reliable electricity they need, when they need it most.”

Located in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, the facility will minimize impact on the surrounding environment due to its proximity to existing transmission and fuel infrastructure while reducing provincial reliance on oil, coal, and imported power.

“This project is an essential part of a clean, reliable, affordable power grid, and it’s a great example of our approach to Indigenous-led, responsible development,” says Jim Ward, General Manager of North Shore Mi’kmaq Tribal Council. “We need clean energy, and we need to keep costs down and keep the power on. We’ve seen in other places how too much renewable energy can cause grid failures or high costs. To avoid those issues, this load-following power plant is a perfect complement to New Brunswick wind and solar power now and in the future. PROENERGY has been a great partner on this. We welcome other developers to get in touch with us.”

The project will enter commercial operations in 2028.

“Our team has a deep understanding of Eastern Canada. PROENERGY appreciates the trust placed in us by NB Power and the North Shore Mi’kmaq Tribal Council to provide the reliable fast-start power they need,” says Jeff Canon, PROENERGY President and CEO.

SEDALIA, MO, September 17, 2024 – PROENERGY Services announced today commissioning of the Remy Jade Generating Station in Harris County. The 384-MW facility is the sixth facility in just four years for independent power producer WattBridge Energy, LLC, now producing fast-start dispatchable power for nearly 2 million homes.

Powered by eight 48-MW PROENERGY aeroderivative gas-turbine packages, Remy Jade supports renewable generation when load demand exceeds supply in any weather condition. This new facility delivers much-needed grid resilience and energy security as Texas peak demand repeatedly sets new records.

WattBridge now operates a 2,304-MW portfolio of dispatchable power generation resources within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid.

“The WattBridge platform answers the call for new power generation in Texas like no one else,” says WattBridge President, Mike Alvarado. “Since 2020, we have commissioned six generating facilities with 48 turbines and created the largest LM6000 fleet in the world. Now we’re ready to build more capacity for Texans.”

WattBridge submitted four projects totaling more than 1,600 MW to the Texas Energy Fund (TEF), which will expand the platform to nearly 5,000 MW in the state. The new facilities, like all WattBridge plants, will be delivered as turnkey PowerFLX solutions by PROENERGY.

“Dispatchable generation isn’t just a part of the energy transition, it is the energy transition,” says Jeff Canon, PROENERGY CEO. “A clean energy future requires a practical and repeatable model with proven technology that supports renewable development in every power market in the world.”
