The U.S. total could increase if one or more of the Eagle Pines turbines becomes operational. The 3,400 MW Eagle Pines Project will include three natural gas-fired combined cycle power blocks.  Each block will consist of two 321 MW Alstom GT36 combustion turbines, two heat recovery steam generators and one 502 MW steam turbine.  The combustion turbines may employ evaporative cooling and/or inlet high fogging for power enhancement.  Each heat recovery steam generator is equipped with natural gas-fired duct burners.  The construction of the first power block is planned to begin in the spring of 2016.  Construction of the subsequent two power blocks are planned to begin fall of 2016 and winter of 2017.
