Stillwater Utilities Authority 08/03/2026

The Stillwater Utilities Authority held a meeting on August 3, 2026, where key procurement and project approval decisions were made. The Authority approved the Boomer Lake Station demolition project, including a contract with engineering firm Black & Veatch for $512,500 to provide engineering and supervisory services. The total estimated cost for the demolition project is approximately $3.5 million, with expenditures authorized from the electric rate stabilization fund. The project aims to demolish the decommissioned power plant and return the land for future economic development. Additionally, the Authority adopted resolution SUA-2026-5 to establish a renewable energy certificate (REC) program rate, authorizing the general manager to execute related agreements. This program allows industrial customers to purchase RECs to meet renewable energy goals, with costs passed through to customers along with an administrative fee. Both motions were approved unanimously by the trustees.
