History edit
The Glenarm Power Plant is an Art Deco style power plant in Pasadena, California.The steamed power plant has powered the city of Pasadena for over 110 years since its historical opening in July 4, 1907 the 200 KW Crocker-Wheeler generator powering light to the streetlights on Glenarm St. at the end of Raymond Ave. Increasing and outgrowing its facility through time which included 17 power generators unit a 14-acre site.[1] In the 1900's Pasadena was lead the way in municipal lighting conflict with Edison Electric Company (later Southern California Edison) gaining national attention. Mayor of Pasadena William Waterhouse upset with Edison service and high price for electricity refuse to pay soon after decided to pass a bond.[2] Pasadena Water and Power PWP's history begins when The Municipal Light and Power Department was set up in 1906. Pasadena natives passed a $125,000 attach to build a power plant that would jolt road lights for not as much as what Edison charged at the time. Before long, another security measure subsidized greater limit at the power plant, and the office started its first business electric administration in 1908.
In 1912 cycles of dry spell and a populace blast produce the city to build up a bound together, dependable water framework. Following a long time of political battle, subjects passed a $1.2 million bond to buy three private water organizations, and the Pasadena Water Department was established.
Throughout the following two decades, the office updated framework, modernized water treatment offices and secured new and long haul water supplies.

On June 2, 2014, the Pasadena City Council endorsed the development contract to add GT-5, with commercial activity slated to start in June 2016.The unit would be a profoundly proficient, 71-MW GE LM6000 consolidated cycle. The new unit, GT-5, was proposed to replace the outdated Unit B-3 situated on the Broadway site. B-3 was touted as the U.S's. most-proficient unit when it entered benefit in 1965, however GT-5 would be almost twice as effective as the old steam heater gear. A formal ground breaking event on July 2, 2014 where work was to begin rapidly.[4] The new gas turbine, GT-5, was introduced as a part of a $132 million re-powering project at Glenarm. After, lawsuits, substantial rain and a bigger than-anticipated design delay on May 2016 it was completed.[5] The turbine gives a steady wellspring of reinforcement control that allows Pasadena Water and Power to incorporate more renewable but intermittent energy, for example, solar and wind also offers a quick-start capability that can generate power within minutes instead of the 72-hour start up time required for the old framework.[6] he site contains a four simple-cycle gas turbine generating units, GT-1 through GT-4, and one combined cycle generating unit, GT-5. The plant is bisected by the Metro Gold Line rails and is bordered on the east by the northern terminus of the Pasadena Freeway and Blair International Baccalaureate School
