North Little Rock Electric owns and operates the Murray Hydroelectric power plant, which provides nearly fourteen percent of the city's electricity from renewable sources. Located adjacent to Murray Lock and Dam No. 7 and the Big Dam Bridge, the plant generates over 142,000 mWh per year of clean energy by utilizing the force of water released from a pool through the dam to spin turbine blades connected to generators.
By harnessing the power of water, North Little Rock Electric's Murray Hydroelectric Plant contributes to the city's renewable energy goals, providing a sustainable source of electricity while operating in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' flood control and navigational purposes at the dam.
