Handling PRB Coal - Power Engineering

In the 1980s, OPPD was converted to burn cleaner, lower sulfur coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin (PRB), as part of their commitment to best environmental stewardship practices. The North Omaha Power Station, a 646 MW coal fired power plant located on the Missouri River north of the city, was constructed over 50 years ago and was originally constructed to burn high sulfur coal.
