Hydroelectric

MSC has always encompassed the use of hydroelectric generation and has plans to invest in this resource even more so in the future.

Ever since its discovery in the midst of the industrial revolution, Michigan’s rivers have remained an ideal home for numerous hydroelectric generating stations. One of which reside in the member communities of Marshall.

The City of Marshall’s Power Plant contains the third oldest hydroelectric utility system operating under its original ownership in the United States. Although, most of the original equipment has been replaced, the Marshall Power Plant still contains several remarkable features dating from the earliest, still experimental, era of commercial hydroelectric power generation.

The Agency plans to expand its hydroelectric resources in the future through assets such as Menominee, Oconto Falls and American Municipal Power (AMP); while still continuing services with the existing facilities of Marshall and. The promising nature and positive environmental impact of hydroelectric generation stations will continue to help provide sustainability for MSC and its members for years to come.

AMP Hydro Projects

Picture
MSCPA has committed to purchase 20,000 KW from two hydro development projects through American Municipal Power (AMP), an Ohio based corporation that provides energy related services to, at present, 128 municipal members located in six states. The original hydro project consists of the development of three hydro generation stations at existing lock and dam facilities known as Cannelton, Smithland, and Willow Island, all of which are located on the Ohio River. The first two projects are scheduled to be online by mid-2014 with the final unit to be on line in 2015. Collectively, these units are expected to have an installed capacity of 206,000 KW, of which MSCPA will receive 13,400 KW.

The Meldahl/Greenup project includes the run-of-the-river hydroelectric generating facility currently under construction at the Captain Anthony Meldahl Dam on the Ohio River and the existing generating facility at the Greenup Dam, also on the Ohio River. MSCPA has purchased 5,344 KW of power from this combined venture.
