Electricity

Electricity lights up our homes, cooks our food, and powers our computers, television sets, and other electronic devices. If you were to walk through your house or your school or your business and write down all of the different appliances, devices and machines that use electricity, you’d probably be amazed at how many things you use every day that depend on electricity.

Coal Mine Generation

Coal from our Wyodak mine powers thousands of homes — home like yours. Learn more about our surface coal mine.

Generation & Production

Our generation facilities produce hundreds of megawatts of power to keep the lights on. Check out the complete list of generation facilities here.

Transmission & Distribution

After we produce electricity, we have to get it to our customers. Learn how we do that.

Did You Know?

Heating and cooling your home uses more energy and drains more energy dollars than any other system in your home. Typically, 44 percent of your energy bill goes for heating and cooling. Reducing use here saves you money on your utility bill.
