Thought this was an interesting alternative way for the small city of Springfield to produce power. Crisis Watch Friday, February 9, 2001 Springfield Utility Board will start generating city's power SPRINGFIELD -- The Springfield Utility Board plans to rent 18 diesel generators to produce one-quarter of the city's electricity and reduce its dependence on high-priced power. The utility's elected board approved the plan Wednesday during an emergency meeting. It marks the first time the board will generate its own electricity. The generators are to be set up by April and will operate for six months. They can generate up to 26.7 megawatts of electricity at any one time, although actual output is expected to be less because at least one always will be off line for maintenance. Utility officials said they can rent the generators, purchase the diesel fuel and operate them for much less than buying the same amount of power on the open market.
