February 4, 2026 Update

Another massive piece of power equipment will soon be making its way to Turtle Creek Station (TCS).

A special heavy haul team is planning to move a large-scale generator to TCS overnight Wednesday, February 4. Generators convert mechanical energy from the turbine to electrical energy. We cannot disclose its current location or route for security reasons. And, with complex moves like this timing is subject to change.

The generator itself weighs 710,411 pounds. Loaded onto the trailer that will haul it, the combined weight is nearly 900,000 pounds. Two trucks are needed to support the trailer. The combined length of the moving equipment is 196-feet – roughly three-fourths the size of a football field – and the height is more than 16-feet.

The slow-going move is happening in the overnight hours to avoid traffic disruptions. OPPD is coordinating the effort with local officials and law enforcement.

More big equipment will be coming to TCS in the coming weeks. OPPD is coordinating nearly a dozen additional heavy haul moves of large equipment to various sites over the next three years.
