SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — City Utilities of Springfield has announced they are moving forward with $280 million projects to help with additional electric generation and battery storage.
The projects consist of gas turbines and battery storage to be installed within the City Utility system. Once online, the gas turbines will be CU’s most efficient generators and will run on natural gas with a fuel oil backup for emergency events.

These projects will allow City Utilities to generate enough reserve power to cope with winter storms or other unforeseen disruptions.
Both projects are expected to be completed by 2027.
