Hydroelectric Reports

Keokuk (Renewable), 1913
Since 1913, our Keokuk Renewable Energy Center has harnessed the power of the Mississippi River to generate clean, low cost and reliable energy for nearly 75,000 homes per year.

Osage (Bagnell Dam), 1931
Bagnell Dam holds back water from the Osage River to create the Lake of the Ozarks. This stored water serves as “fuel” for the Osage Energy Center, located inside the dam.

Taum Sauk (Pumped storage), 1963
Like a giant battery, Taum Sauk Energy Center stores the natural power of 1.5 billion gallons of water to safely and reliably generate electricity when it's needed most.
