Generation
"Owning your own generation is a tried and true formula for success.
It helps dampen volatility of energy cost and minimize rates"
Vineland Municipal Electric Utility owns and operates four (4) generating units.
Three (3) are located at Howard M. Down Station and one (1) at West Substation.
VMEU’s peak load is 161 MW and we are currently capable of generating 78 MW.
VMEU plans to invest the necessary funds to install a dual fuel (natural gas primary,
Oil backup) 50 to 60 MW Simple Cycle Gas Turbine generator at Howard M. Down Station by
May 31, 2012 to increase our generating capacity. VMEU’s core value is to keep the
Electric Utility city owned maintaining the utility jobs and economic stimulus provided
by the utility to the community. VMEU will continue to invest in standardized efficient
peaking gas turbine generating units to replace existing aging units and to keep pace with load growth.
