TransAlta’s Centralia Plant Earns PRBCUG Award. TransAlta owns a fleet of 75 plants, mostly in Canada, but with 22% in the U.S. Northwest. The 1,340-MW Centralia Complex, located in southwest Washington, began burning up to 30% PRB coal in 1992 and completed its conversion in late 2008. The Powder River Basin Coal Users’ Group recognized Centralia with its 2013 Plant of the Year (Large Plant category) award for the plant’s excellent dust control program, upgrades to eliminate pulverizer “puffs,” and its expansion in rail operations to handle PRB coal.

The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), one of the largest publically owned utilities in the U.S., generates approximately one-half of its electricity by burning coal. OPPD’s North Omaha Station began using low-sulfur coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin in 1985. Plant upgrades that increased plant safety and the reliability of plant operations were recently recognized by the PRBCUG with its 2013 Plant of the Year (Small Plant category) award.
