- General Info
- In 2002, Gerald Gentleman Station was recognized by Platts Power magazine as America's second lowest cost producer coal-fired plant for 1999-2001. The Gerald Gentleman Station (GGS) is Nebraska's largest generating plant. Located near Sutherland, Neb., the plant consists of two coal-fired generating units, which together have the capability to generate 1,365,000 kilowatts of power. Coal from Wyoming's Powder River Basin provides fuel for the plant. NPPD built a second rail spur to the plant in 1994 so coal can be shipped directly from Union Pacific or Burlington Northern railroad lines. The new spur increases competition in the freight market resulting in lower costs for coal delivery to GGS, which at full capacity, burns as much as 800 tons of coal per hour. GGS meets all federal and state air pollution and water quality regulations. The station burns low-sulfur coal and helps protect the environment through its reverse gas cleaning bag houses, which remove particulates from flue gas emissions.
