Generation & Transmission

As a generation and transmission cooperative, Wabash Valley Power is responsible for generating or purchasing electricity and transmitting it to its member systems as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

Specifics about Wabash Valley Power's role, power supply strategy, generation assets and relationships with other organizations that help in ensuring a reliable power supply is explained in the following sections. Here, visitors can learn more about how power is generated, transmitted and distributed.

As participants of the Cooperative Research Network (CRN), Wabash Valley Power is actively involved in electric research and product development. The association is particularly interested in the practical application of new technologies such as distributed generation, through which larger commercial and industrial sources can link auxiliary sources of power to the WVPA system and sell any excess generation.
