The Municipal Utilities Power Plant, located near Miami and North Streets, was constructed in 1919, but with additions over the years, the electrical generating system is quite able to meet the present needs. Our goal is to always have the capability to exceed the needs of Marshall during peak demand periods. Expansion over the years has increased capacity to 57.3 MW. The charts below show the generating capacity of the various MMU generators, and our historic net peaks.
