Dairyland Power Cooperative Announces Plans for 

2021 Retirement of Genoa Station #3

LA CROSSE, WI—Dairyland Power Cooperative announced today that its Sustainable Generation Plan includes the retirement of the coal-fired Genoa Station #3 (G-3), located in Genoa, Wis., in mid to late 2021.

“Our employees are Dairyland’s most valued resource,” said Barb Nick, President and CEO. “As we made this difficult decision, we did so with a deep appreciation for the contributions of our employees who have dedicated their talents and energy to help us deliver on our mission to our members.”

"This decision also aligns with our Sustainable Generation Plan and its focus on the continued addition of renewable resources,” said Nick. “The recently announced approval by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin for the Nemadji Trail Energy Center in Superior gives us the added confidence to take this next step to further diversify Dairyland’s resource mix and reduce our carbon intensity.”

The supercritical facility, which was brought online in June 1969, was designed to be highly
efficient and uses low sulfur coal delivered by barge.
