Turney Energy Center

The all-new Turney Energy Center, under construction by Associated Electric Cooperative near Turney, Missouri, will meet the energy needs of members across the region with a net output between 420 and 445 MW. When complete, Turney Energy Center will be the most advanced commercially operated combustion turbine in the state. The facility will operate as a natural gas peaking unit, which will not run all the time, and will be available to quick-start and run on-demand during periods of peak energy use.

Ripley Energy Center

The all-new Ripley Energy Center, under construction by Associated Electric Cooperative near Ripley, Oklahoma, will meet the energy needs of members across the region with a net output between 420 and 445 MW. When complete, Ripley Energy Center will be the most advanced commercially operated combustion turbine in the state. The facility will operate as a natural gas peaking unit, which will not run all the time, and will be available to quick-start and run on-demand during periods of peak energy use.

New Gas Generation

Protecting a reliable, low-cost and responsible power supply for Associated Electric Cooperative’s members is vital. Additional natural gas generation is required to maintain a reliable power supply for members during peak energy demand. To protect reliability, Associated is constructing two new natural gas-fired, simple-cycle energy centers — one in Oklahoma and one in Missouri — that will each provide 420–445 MW of power when needed.

Transmission

Associated and its six owner G&Ts have built and maintain one of the largest integrated transmission systems in the country. This system enables Associated to transact business with electric cooperatives, investor-owned and municipal utilities, power marketing firms and regional transmission organizations for the benefit of members.
