Xcel Energy Shines Light on New Station

Western Wisconsin’s power company is moving ahead with a new non-solar power plant.

Xcel Energy this week began work on a new, 244 million-dollar generation station in Wheaton. The idea is to replace the plant’s old and out-dated turbines and generators with new, much more efficient ones. Xcel says they need the new power plant to produce energy on the days when wind and solar aren’t enough. Xcel’s new power plant will be able to run on both natural gas and fuel oil, but the company says it will be 90 percent more efficient than the power plant that it’s replacing.
