Company Description
With headquarters in Bloomington, Indiana, Hoosier Energy operates two coal-based power production facilities, the 1,070-megawatt Merom Generating Station and the 250-megawatt Ratts Generating Station. The G&T’s generation portfolio also includes two natural gas-fueled peaking plants, the 174-Worthington Generating Station and the 258-megawatt Lawrence Generating Station. In 2007, the cooperative’s first renewable energy facility was completed, the two-megawatt Clark-Floyd Landfill Methane Generation project. In January 2009, Hoosier Energy and Wabash Valley Power Association completed the $383 million purchase of the 627-megawatt combined cycle Holland Energy plant near Beecher City, Illinois. The power plant will help meet the power needs of the two generation and transmission cooperatives’ consumer-owned electric cooperatives while contributing to reserve requirements and providing value in energy markets.

In addition, Hoosier Energy provides training, safety, marketing, communications and technical services to its member cooperatives. An estimated 800,000 residents, businesses, industries and farms in 48 Indiana counties and 11 southeastern Illinois counties rely on the power supplier’s member distribution cooperatives for electric power.
