Appreciation post for our Generation Staff that works everyday behind the scenes powering Muscatine and the grid. With "feels like" temps in the 90-100+ degrees last week and this week, power plant temps are even hotter with the boilers running full capacity to make the steam that turns the blades to ultimately produce energy. It's a pretty amazing process! It was great foresight back in 1922 for Muscatine leaders to establish a municipal electric utility (MPW) with local generation. Over the years, that generation has been a great hedge to protect our customers from grid price volatility. Having baseload generation (coal) ensures we are "always on", and the renewable portion of our portfolio takes advantage of the wind when it's there. We appreciate the entire team that supports Generation and serves our customers well. 💙 As we "power the present" with our legacy units, there is also an incredible amount of work underway to "power the future" with a new natural gas unit (2028) and utility-scale solar (2026, pending grid interconnection approvals). #MPW #generation #powergrid #teamwork

This past weekend, a few #MPW employees along with 35 other teams enjoyed a round of golf in Altoona, IA. International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) put on their 11th annual best ball tournament to support Cradling New Life. Cradling New Life's mission is to help with the needs of families enduring the struggles of premature birth. While the MPW team didn't take home any trophies, a good time was had by all!
