List of power stations in Wisconsin
Sources of Wisconsin utility-scale electricity generation:
full-year 2022[1]
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Wisconsin had a total summer capacity of 15,312 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 66,774 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix in 2021 was 41.8% coal, 33.8% natural gas, 15.2% nuclear, 3.8% hydroelectric, 2.5% wind, 1.7% biomass (including refuse-derived fuel), solar (0.9%), and petroleum (0.3%).[1]
The Fox River powered the world's first commercial hydroelectric central power station, the Vulcan Street Plant, during 1882 to 1891.[3] An exact replica of the plant, designated as a National Historic Engineering Landmark, is located near the original site in Appleton.[4] Wisconsin also has the nation's oldest (since 1891) continuously operating hydroelectric facility in Whiting according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.[5]
During the first half of the 20th century, Wisconsin's utility companies pioneered efficiency improvements for coal-fired electricity generation at the former East Wells (Onieda) Street Power Plant,[6] and former Port Washington Power Plant.[7] Nuclear power has generated Wisconsin's largest share of carbon-free electrical energy since 1970.[8] Natural gas generation has nearly quadrupled over the past decade to replace retiring facilities and satisfy rising demand.[9]
