    Calpine Pryor, Inc. (Calpine Pryor) is an independent power producer. The company was principally engaged in the generation and supply of electricity and steam. The company operates as a natural gas fired, combined cycle cogeneration facility. This combined-cycle cogeneration facility had a base capacity of up to 38 MW throughout the year plus an additional 52 MW of peaking power during high demand. Calpine Pryor sold electricity and steam generated to Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company and steam to five different manufacturing facilities in the Mid-American Industrial Park. The facility is equipped of three combustion turbines, which produce electricity during times of peak demand. The company sells the remaining electricity to the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO).

     History
    Built in the late 1930's to provide electricity and steam to facilities in the Mid-America industrial park, which was known as the Oklahoma Ordinance Works. The facility also provided steam and heat to the POW camp located nearby. On Oct. 9, 1998, the facility which was formerly known as Cogeneration Corporation of America (Cogen America) was purchased by the Calpine Corporation for a sum of $23,947,140. After nearly 7 years under new management, the Calpine Corporation declared bankruptcy with a debt of $22,535,577,121 on Dec. 21, 2005 due to a spike in the price of natural gas resulting in the closure of many facilities.
