Illinois Town's 29-MW Power Plant Under Construction

LCG, Aug. 6, 2003--Geneva, Illinois has received five reciprocating engines from Caterpillar Inc., and is beginning construction of a power plant expected to be operational by January 2004.

Mayor Kevin Burns said, "This new power plant will offer residents and businesses of our city a higher quality of life by providing reliable and more affordable power during extreme weather conditions."
