Gas Distribution System

The gas distribution system serves approximately 1200 residential and commercial accounts.  Because the power plant has the capability to utilize natural gas and / or coal, the Department can use this flexibility to obtain economical gas rates both for the power plant and our residential and commercial customers.  The gas is delivered from Northern Natural Gas pipeline at a single Border Station.  This Border Station was upgraded in 1993 increasing the peak day capacity of the station to over 10,000 Million Cubic Feet (MCF)/day.
