This plant is located in the southwest corner of Bloomington, adjacent to the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. There is a substation within the compound along with the 7- 3516 series Caterpillar Diesel Engines. They produce 2300 HP, 1500 kW each, totaling 11,000 kW. The engines run at 1800 RPM. The plant is designed similar to the Red Rock Generation Facility being kept in "Hot Standby", but is an un-manned facility controlled by SCADA. The plant provides load control and voltage support as well as being emergency back-up for the Wastewater facility.
If you have any questions pertaining to power generation or any of the previous pages, please feel free to call anytime at 627-4835 and any of the power generation personnel will be happy to accommodate your inquiries. Tours are also available at the engine facilities.
