RockGen Energy Center
RockGen Energy Center is a 460 megawatt natural gas fired peaking power plant located near Rockdale, Wisconsin. According to Calpine, it was the largest peaking plant in Wisconsin at the time it was constructed.
==Construction==
In July 1998, the town of Christiana was announced as one of the possible sites for a new peaker plant in Wisconsin. The site is just east of a limestone quarry and west of a large electrical substation on land previously used for row crop farming. Shortly after the announcement, an opposition group named "Responsible Use of Rural and Agricultural Land" (RURAL) was formed to block its construction. Other sites were ruled out as more expensive and the decision was made to proceed at the Dane county location west of Rockdale. Starting in January 1999, several lawsuits were filed by RURAL and the village of Rockdale to block the construction and invalidate the air permit. The Environmental Protection Agency declined to overturn the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issued air permit. In March 2000, tensions were high and gunshots were fired at a nearby electrical substation damaging a transformer and circuit breaker. No one was ever charged in the incident, but it was considered to be connected to the construction dispute by police. Construction began in April 2000, ten months behind schedule. In December 2000, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ended the remaining challenge allowing construction to finish. In May 2001, the $190 million facility was completed.〔"Timeline for the Rockgen Power Plant". Ron Larson, State Journal library director. ''Wisconsin State Journal''. Madison, Wis.: May 6, 2001. pg. F.2〕
Around the same time period, the announcement of plans for generating stations near Edgerton (just south of the Dane / Rock county line) and Sturtevant in Racine County, "generated huge public outcry."〔"Reliable, Affordable Energy is a Must". Brenda Blanchard. ''Wisconsin State Journal''. Madison, Wis.: Dec 3, 2000. pg. B.3〕〔"Edgerton Council Turns Down Power Plant Residents Show Up In Droves To Oppose The Site, Telling Calpine ''To Go Back To California''." Beth Williams Wisconsin State Journal. ''Wisconsin State Journal''. Madison, Wis.: Sep 6, 2000. pg. 1.A〕 Those plans were quickly scrapped and as of 2008, no other power plants have been constructed in Dane County. Calpine would later construct Riverside Energy Center, a larger base load, combined cycle natural gas-fired plant farther south in Rock County in the town of Beloit.
