Learning Table Luncheon

Allen S. King Generating Station

Xcel Energy invites you to tour its King plant electric generation facility which is celebrating its 50th operational anniversary in 2018.  King plant underwent a significant rehabilitation in the early 2000s as part of Xcel Energy's MERP (Metro Emissions Reduction Project).

This spring the plant will be undergoing a scheduled maintenance outage which provides guests a unique viewing opportunity of its equipment.
This plant was the model for a successful and growing peregrine falcon restoration effort, as the first plant in the nation to place a falcon nest box on its stacks. 

Please join us for lunch and a tour so that we can share with you how Xcel Energy is always delivering clean, reliable and safe electricity along with a whole lot of community involvement.
