Oak Creek Power Plant Expansion
The Oak Creek Power Plant expansion includes the construction of two 615-megawatt coal-fueled generating units. These units will be equipped with state-of-the art emission-control technology, making our Oak Creek facility one of the cleanest plants of its type in the United States. Construction began in June 2005.
Port Washington Generating Station
The coal-fueled Port Washington Power Plant was converted into an intermediate-load natural gas facility. The new plant consists of two 545-megawatt natural-gas-fueled units. On July 16, 2005, the first unit achieved commercial operation, and on May 23, 2008, the second unit was placed into service.
Wind Developments
Blue Sky Green Field Wind Energy Center began operating 88 wind turbines in the towns of Marshfield and Calumet in northeast Fond du Lac County in May 2008. The proposed Glacier Hills Wind Park is located in the towns of Randolph and Scott in Columbia County.
Air Quality Control Systems
As part of our commitment to upgrade environmental performance, a new air quality control system was added to Pleasant Prairie Power Plant. We also are constructing a new air quality control system at Oak Creek Power Plant to further reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
