The FEED study will be funded using Energy Matching Funds provided by the Wyoming Legislature and will look at the possibility of adding a second coal-fired generation unit at its Dry Fork Station in Gillette, Wyoming.
This in-depth review will explore whether building a new unit is feasible, what technical work would be required, and how it could help meet the region’s growing energy needs.
The study will also cover technology options, early engineering and design work, and include an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering Class 3 cost estimate. Together, these details will help guide informed decisions about the proposed expansion.
“We are grateful for Governor Mark Gordon’s support and approval of our application,” said Gavin McCollam, Basin Electric senior vice president and chief operating officer. “Partnering with the Wyoming Energy Authority on this FEED study allows us to responsibly explore innovative, cost-effective ways to meet future energy needs. We’re committed to evaluating every opportunity that supports reliability and keeps power affordable for our members.”
