City of Grand IslandApril 9th, 2004
Grand Island has been participating in the development of a new base load, coal fired electric generating plant to be built in Hastings at the same site as the existing Hastings plant. That site is named the Whelan Energy Center and the new project is generally referred to as WEC2. WEC2 capacity is designed to be between 180MW and 220MW depending upon the level of participation from other utilities. The current Grand Island share is 15MW. Other participants include the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (MEAN), Hastings, Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), Heartland Electric Cooperative (S. Dakota) and Nebraska City. Lincoln Electric System (LES) and Falls City were participants in Phase 1 of the project but have since selected other optio ns to meet their future base load needs. LES opted to participate in a coal fired unit in Iowa; Falls City selected Nebraska City Unit #2.
