Rokeby Generation Station
LES' primary peaking power station, totaling 251 megawatts (MW), and a 3 MW “Black Start” Diesel gen-set. All three combustion turbines can run on either natural gas or low sulfur No. 2 fuel oil.

Salt Valley Generating Station
LES' most efficient natural gas-fired plant uses waste heat from two of the three aero-derivative combustion turbines to create steam which is used to operate a steam turbine and generate additional power. Because of the high plant efficiency, this station is usually the first local resource dispatched to meet customer load and can generate 167 MW on a hot summer day.

8^th & J
LES' oil- or gas-fired power plant, totaling 25 MW.

Wind Turbines
LES has two wind turbine generators on the northeast side of Lincoln. Our first wind turbine generator was completed in December 1998 and the second in October 1999. At full output, the turbines are capable of generating about 1,304 kilowatts of power.

Laramie River Station
LES owns 11.09 percent of this coal-fired power plant, with 10.5 percent, or 178 MW available after participation sales. Construction was completed in 1982 on the three-unit, 1,650 MW plant.

Sheldon Station
Owned by Nebraska Public Power District, LES participates by purchasing 30 percent of output, or about 68 MW.

Gerald Gentleman Station
Owned by Nebraska Public Power District, LES participates by purchasing 8 percent of output, or about 109 MW.

Western Area Power Administration
LES purchases 54 MW of firm power (hydropower), 72 MW of summer firm peaking and 21 MW of winter firm peaking power.

Walter Scott, Jr. Energy Center Unit 4
LES owns 12.6 percent of Walter Scott, Jr. Energy Center Unit 4 near Council Bluffs, Iowa, along with MidAmerican Energy Company which developed the power plant. While the facility will provide LES with 105 MW of energy, LES will sell 50 MW back to MidAmerican until January 2009.
