This power plant successfully provided cogenerated steam and electricity to the East Lansing campus for more than five decades, but with the original generation equipment almost 60 years old, it was conventionally considered to be at the end of its useful life and maintenance costs for outdated boilers and turbines were on the rise. Changing technology allowed MSU to consider a different approach for the next generation of power production.

Three new RICE engines provided 27 megawatts of power generation to the campus. The project consisted of the following: 3 (ea) 9 MW Gas RICE Engines, 3 (ea) SCRs & 100鈥� exhaust stacks, large radiator farm, new medium voltage line-up, and 11,000 SF engine hall. These units are now in an unmanned facility controlled remotely from the main plant with the exception of inspection and maintenance.

Working on a 20-month schedule, the team worked safely and efficiently to ensure construction was completed within the necessary time frame.
