[5] It is scheduled for replacement in 2025 with an 840 MW natural gas plant, designed to also burn "green hydrogen."

[3] Generating units are equipped with General Electric tandem compound steam turbines and Babcock & Wilcox subcritical boilers.

This unit was expected to go online in 2012; however, the project was cancelled after its major purchaser, the city of Los Angeles, decided to become coal-free by 2020.

[11] By 2025 the plant is scheduled to be replaced with an 840 MW natural gas plant, at a cost of $865 million, which utility managers state is necessary both to avoid blackouts which could result from the non-dispatchable nature of solar and wind generation,[12] and to ensure operation of the Path 27 HVDC transmission line which brings solar and wind power from Utah to Los Angeles.

[16] One expert noted in 2019 that using hydrogen to replace natural gas in power-plant turbines was theoretical and had never been done in practice,[12]: 1  and a LADWP IPP official stated that the "economics remain to be seen" and "could be quite expensive.
