Schedule this FREE webinar with your team – no travel required. All registered attendees will receive a certificate of completion for one professional development hour! If you think running a power plant is tough, try it while undergoing a vigorous growth plan. That is exactly what Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L) Iatan Plant staff and employees did and were able to win the prestigious PRB Coal Users’ Group Plant of the Year award in the process. A PRB Coal Users’ Group Plant of the Year nominee must undergo an extensive review process including a visit by the members of the Board of Directors. But Iatan was up to the challenge. And if going through that review process was not enough, KCP&L was selected as POWER magazine's 2011 Plant of the Year. This award is hand-selected from several hundred entries by POWER magazine's editorial staff and judging committee. Hear from the plant about what makes Iatan worthy of such an honor and what challenges they faced along the way. What processes were implemented to secure this recognition? KCP&L was 7 years into its growth plan and the addition of Iatan unit 2 was only part of the insurmountable odds faced over the past few years. While preparing for their Open House Iatan was hit with the 2011 Missouri River flood. The station was able to continue operations throughout the prolonged summer flood which required all people, supplies and reagents be boated two miles across flooded corn fields.
