Please explain[edit]

What is "the 308 MW Mid-Georgia Cogen combined cycle gas turbine power plant"? I'm guessing "Cogen" is slang for "co-generation," but that's just a guess. Please don't use slang or technical jargon.

Why is this power plant notable? -- Rob C. alias Alarob 00:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mid-Georgia Cogen is the formal name of the plant, please see the references to the plant's article for supporting documentation. You are correct that "Cogen" is indeed short for "co-generation", however that is the name chosen by the developers and owners of the plant. The plant is significant to Kathleen because it supports the operation of the Frito-Lay plant which is a major employeer for the community. The plant is significant in its own right because it is a winner of the 1999 Power Engineering magazine Plant of the Year award and because it is a major power generation facility. Please let me know if this does not resolve your concerns, thank you and best wishes. Civilengtiger (talk) 02:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I didn't realize the reference contained a link, and will edit it to make it more prominent. This is all good info, but I think it would fit better as a more detailed paragraph rather than as part of one sentence in the lead. I cannot attend to it right away.

Is the Mid-Georgia plant the largest (or only) power generating plant in Houston County? If so it would be worth mentioning. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 18:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome. I think your idea to move the content about Mid-Georgia Cogen to another section and out of the lead paragraph is a good one. I'm going to create a section called Economics and place it there. Your thoughts?

From work in the industry, I know Mid-Georgia Cogen is indeed the largest power plant in Houston County, but I don't have a public reference so I am hesitant to add that information at this time. Civilengtiger (talk) 20:21, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
