Overview
Alliant SBD 9205 A Y McDonald is a 3.6 MW diesel power plant in the United States, operated by Industrial Energy Applications Inc. It provides localized power generation capacity.
Alliant SBD 9205 A Y McDonald is a diesel power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 42.4906, -90.745. The facility has a capacity of 3.6 MW and is classified as a diesel power plant. It is currently operational and owned by Industrial Energy Applications Inc. As a diesel-fired facility, it operates under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Act regulations, including National Ambient Air Quality Standards and the Acid Rain Program. Diesel plants typically serve as peaking or backup power sources due to their quick start capabilities and relatively lower capital costs compared to larger baseload plants. The plant's relatively small capacity suggests it likely serves a local or niche role, such as emergency backup or peak shaving for a specific industrial or community need. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to grid reliability in its area.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as its primary fuel, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions typical of diesel combustion. Its small capacity (3.6 MW) limits overall environmental impact, but proximity to populated areas could influence local air quality. The facility is subject to U.S. EPA emission standards under the Clean Air Act.
