Tri-State’s baseload power resources provide reliable, low-cost power that is available around the clock to meet the needs of Tri-State’s member cooperatives. The G&T mainly relies on baseload generation to meet the energy required by residential, commercial and industrial consumers.

To meet the rapidly growing energy needs of its member cooperatives, Tri-State is pursuing a unit at the existing Holcomb Station power plant in western Kansas. Tri-State could receive additional power from a second unit to be built at Holcomb Station by Sunflower Electric Power Corporation and Golden Spread Electric Cooperative.

The highly efficient, supercritical pulverized coal power plant is scheduled to be online in 2013. The facility will incorporate best available control technology to minimize air emissions and include mercury-specific emission controls.
