E. J. Stoneman Generating Station is a former coal fired, electrical power station located in Cassville, Wisconsin in Grant County.
Purchased by WPS Resources in 1996 from Dairyland Power Cooperative, there have been a few attempts to repower the facility, but the site is located next to the Cassville Municipal Airport presenting problems with additional stacks. In 1997, a 300–500 MW natural gas facility was proposed for the site.[1] In 2001, plans called for the closure of the airport to allow the addition of a 200 MW coal facility.[2] As of 2008, the airport remains open and the power plant remains 53 MW. However, there are plans to repower the facility, which is mothballed, with a 300 MW coal plant.[3]
DTE Biomass Energy, a subsidiary of Michigan-based DTE Energy, bought the Stoneman plant from Integrys Energy Group, converting it to burn wood waste in 2009.[4] On June 5, 2008, Dairyland Power Cooperative entered into an agreement with DTE Energy to fully purchase the expected 40 MW electrical output.[5]
The plant has been in violation of Wisconsin air pollution control standards over the years and in June 2013, agreed to pay a penalty of over $150,000.
