Worthington Peaking Power Plant 

The Worthington Generating Station, a 174-megawatt natural gas-fired generating plant in Greene County, is used to meet member peaking power needs, make off-system sales and satisfy generating reserve requirements.

Opened by Williams Energy in 2000, the Worthington Station was acquired by Hoosier Energy in early 2003.

The plant is connected to the power grid through Hoosier Energy’s 138-kilovolt transmission lines and adjacent primary substation. The plant is operated by General Electric Power Systems under a contract arrangement.
