Electric Generation

MidAmerican Energy Company is well suited to meet the needs of our electric
customers with more than 6,600 megawatts of owned and
purchased generating capacity. At the end of 2007, our generating capacity
was approximately 55 percent fueled by coal; 23 percent natural gas and oil;
10 percent nuclear and 10 percent wind, hydroelectric, biomass and other
nonrenewable purchases. Our commitment to environmental responsibility and
infrastructure investment includes plans for more wind-powered electric generation in Iowa.
We are ranked No. 1 among rate-regulated utility owners of wind energy installations
in the nation and are a leader in increasing the amount of electricity generated
from renewable resources.
Production costs at our coal-fueled generation stations are lower than regional
and national averages. We also have majority ownership in four of the five
jointly owned coal-fueled generating stations in Iowa.
MidAmerican’s commitment to electric generation ensures our customers will
benefit from stable supply, rate predictability and sufficient capacity now and
into the future. |
