The HBPW is currently in the process of building a new 114 Megawatt Natural Gas Power Plant (http://p21decision.com/). In April 2015, ground was broken on the site and construction began. The remaining coal was used at the current coal fired plant (James de Young) in spring of 2016 and the plant will come online spring 2017 with a ribbon cutting ceremony to take place in the summer/fall of 2017.
