Background

Associated Electric Cooperative began construction of the Ripley Energy Center near Ripley, Oklahoma with a net output between 420 and 445 MW. The facility will operate as a gas peaking unit, which will not run all the time, and will be available to quick-start and run on-demand during periods of peak energy use. The unit will be able to burn fuel oil and blend up to 30% hydrogen. The power station is expected to begin operations in 2026. Estimated total cost of the project USD 520 million.[8] The construction began in October 2024.[9]
