We Power Tomorrow

The energy industry is evolving fast—and so are we. Learn how we’re making sure our member communities have access to reliable, sustainable energy for decades to come.

The Prairie State Energy Campus is setting a new standard for clean coal production. Our state-of-the-art energy campus uses modern technology to produce cleaner, baseload electricity for our member communities. That’s because we’re owned by non-profit municipal utilities and electric cooperatives, so our mission isn’t to serve shareholders—it’s to create a sustainable, secure energy future for the millions of families we serve.
