With an operating capacity of 44 megawatts, the plant harnesses water as its primary fuel source, contributing to the region’s renewable energy portfolio. The facility is situated within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) region and is managed by the Nevada Irrigation District, which serves as both the majority owner and holding company. Notably, Chicago Park operates in an unregulated environment, allowing for flexible operational strategies to meet energy demands.
