Missouri Shows Possible Power Generation Growth Development of 21.7%

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas). The State of Missouri currently has over 295 power generating units producing a total of 21,470-megawatts (MW). Power generating companies in Missouri plan to meet the future electrical requirements with a 21.7% increase (4,659 MW) in capacity that will have a wide variance in fuel types. Current generation developments that would bring the total generation to over 26,000 MW include coal, hydroelectric, landfill gas, nuclear and wind projects.

The primary fuel for new generation development is coal with seven units for a total of 2,928 MW of generation capacity. Coal projects include the 800MW Iatan Power Station Unit 02 in Platt County, near Weston, Missouri, which Industrial Info has been tracking since the late 1980’s/early 1990’s. There is also a study for the possible addition of a 1,000MW unit addition at one of Missouri’s two nuclear power stations. Low emission or clean energy projects utilizing other energy sources: (2) hydro power plants to generate for 556 MW, (3) windfarms for 160 MW plus (2) landfill gas power plants for 14 MW.
