New Bridgeport power plant officially turned on

With a flip of an oversized light switch, Bridgeport and state officials celebrated the city’s newest industrial landmark.

“It’s not often where you’re able to gather a public-private partnership on multiple levels and as a result see so many positives come out of it,” said Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim, during a Tuesday address commemorating the official opening of PSEG’s natural gas-powered Bridgeport Harbor Station 5 overlooking Long Island Sound.

The 485-megawatt plant went online roughly a month ago, providing energy to thousands of homes and businesses throughout the state. It also set in motion plans to retire PSEG’s longstanding coal plant next door, which officials say is scheduled for June 2021
