The CPV Valley Energy Center was one of the three natural gas-fired plants in the New York metropolitan area that came online to support electricity needs before the decommission of the last nuclear reactor of the Indian Point Energy Center in 2021. The other two plants were Bayonne Energy Center II (120 MW) and CPV Valley Energy Center (678 MW).[2][3]
In 2022, Cricket Valley Energy Center retrofitted its combined cycle power plant as an early step to prepare for a conversion into a hydrogen fuel cell power plant.[4]
