Standing Bear Lake’s substation was completed and energized in December, and transmission work for the plant is complete.

This month, Wärtsilä, the manufacturer of Standing Bear Lake Station’s reciprocating internal combustion engines, continues the second phase of engine assembly. The focus at Standing Bear Lake in the coming months is finishing major electrical work in the site’s engine hall, five power distribution centers and supporting facilities.

The lighting and paving work is also underway, along with beautification and other cosmetic work. Also coming in 2024 will be site landscaping work.

Standing Bear Lake Station is set to come online this summer, for more highlights of recent progress, please see this story in The Wire.
