Kinder Morgan Power Company is focused on developing natural gas-fired power plants. The company built and holds a preferred interest in a 550-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant in Jackson, Mich. It also owns an interest in three plants in Colorado.

The plants utilize Kinder Morgan's proprietary Orion technology. Orion facilities are designed to operate during intermediate and peak demand periods to provide wholesale electricity to electric utilities and power marketing companies. The beauty of the Orion technology is that it allows plants to be started and stopped quickly at a nominal cost, allowing our tolling parties to respond quickly to changes in the marketplace. These plants combine the operational flexibility and responsiveness of a simple cycle peaking plant with the fuel efficiency of combined cycle design, utilizing both aero derivative and industrial gas turbines.
