The Sikeston Power Plant in Sikeston, MO is a coal-fired steam-electric generating station that was established in 1981 to meet the increasing demand for electricity in the region. With a capacity of 235 megawatts, the plant supplies power to the entire Midwest through the main power grid, while also meeting approximately one-third of Sikeston's power needs.
Constructed on a 622-acre site, the Sikeston Power Plant was the result of extensive engineering and economic studies, which determined that a coal-fired station would provide the most cost-effective power supply. Managed by Phelps, Hogland and Phillips Engineering Company, the plant has been a vital source of energy for the city and the surrounding area since its inception.
