Valley Power Plant is an intermediate load, natural gas fired, electrical power station located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is owned by We Energies. The plant is a cogeneration facility supplying steam to 480 customers and 280 MW of electricity.
The plant was originally fueled by a pulverized coal and petroleum coke blend. Coal was shipped by boat to Milwaukee's Greenfield Avenue dock and then by barge to the plant. The plant completed its conversion to natural gas in late 2015.[1]
