Xcel Energy Riverside Plant




Xcel Energy converted its century-old coal fired Riverside Plant, the
oldest plant in the Xcel system, from coal fired to natural gas fired
generation as a part of it's Metro Emissions Reduction Project (MERP).
With the plant no longer burning coal for power generation, its 475 foot
stack became unnecessary.  Viet Companies, with lifting support from
Vic's Crane and Heavy Haul, was tasked with its removal.
