THERMAL GENERATION

Coal-Fired Complex
GRDA's thermal-generation facility transformed the Authority from a small, northeastern Oklahoma hydroelectricity producer, to a major electricity supplier for the region. Its completion nearly tripled GRDA's total generation capabilities while nearly tripling the number of employees as well.

Meeting rigid government environmental standards is a top priorty at the CFC. The facility is equipped with extensive pollution control equipment and also serves as an informal wildlife sanctuary. The CFC cooling ponds provide food and rest for thousands of migratory waterfowl while deer and other wildlife can also be seen on the grounds. No hunting is allowed on the site.
