History of Norwood part 1 & 2 as told by Howard Greager

Norwood (short history)

Nucla Station (100 MW) has one unit next to the San Miguel River near Nucla, Colorado and built from 1957 to 1959. The facility was the world's first utility-scale power plant to utilize (1985 - 1987) atmospheric circulating fluidized-bed combustion. Total project cost was $112 million and the owner is Tri-State Generation and Transmission.

At exactly 9:19a.m on 09/09/19 the power went out in the West End of Montrose County. This was not the usual outage we expect in rural Colorado; instead, this 15 minutes of darkness represented the end of the Nucla coal fired power station’s 60-year history. This past Monday, the Tri-State Transmission & Generation, coal-fired power plant, burned its last piece of coal and officially went off line.
