The document provides an update on the Power Generation Station (PGS) project in Stillwater, Oklahoma, highlighting its feasibility, procurement status, and construction timeline. Estimated at under $70 million, the project involves 25,000 horsepower natural gas-fired generators and is on schedule for commercial operation by June 30, 2016, while remaining under budget. Key activities include completing land exchanges, securing service contracts, and various engineering designs necessary for facility construction.

4. Feasibility Analysis
1. Rebuild Boomer Lake
Station
2. Build a new State of the
Art Generation Facility
3. Get out of the generation
business
Was it economically feasible to build generation
in the City of Stillwater?
