HOUSTON, TX — Gulf Coast Midstream Partners (GCMP) has entered into an agreement with Enerflex Ltd. to purchase six Jenbacher J620 gas engine generator sets, marking a major procurement milestone for the Nash Storage Hub in Fort Bend County, Texas.

The units will provide nearly 20 MW of behind-the-meter power generation to support cavern development and operations, including the leach plant, compression and supporting facilities. Securing this long-lead equipment advances the project toward first power on site and continued development of the salt cavern natural gas storage hub.

GCMP is advancing the project with support from its sponsor, Black Bay Partners.
