A diverse mix of generation resources
Our power plants generate more than 2,800 megawatts of electricity and several solar arrays are capable of producing 650 kilowatts. In addition, we purchase wind and hydroelectric energy.
We carefully design and maintain a portfolio of power generation facilities and transmission resources to deliver reliable and affordable wholesale electricity to the regional electricity market and our member-owner cooperatives.
Generation resources of varying sizes, locations and fuels each serve a specific purpose within our resource network.
Renewable energy – including 669 megawatts of wind energy – represents an important and growing part of our power supply portfolio.
In May 2020 we announced plans to transform our portfolio of power supply resources in the coming years, significantly reducing member-owner wholesale power costs. We plan to phase out remaining coal resources, add significant renewable energy and explore critical grid-scale battery technology.
