Launched into service in 1955, the plant is located just 2.5 km downstream along the Ohio River from a much larger, newer coal-fired Gavin Power Plant.

Sherburne County Generating Station The Sherburne County Generating Station, also known as Sherco, is a massive coal-fired power plant on the banks of the Mississippi River in Becker, Minnesota, which is in Sherburne County. Its three units have a combined capacity of 2,238 megawatts, making it the largest power plant in the state. In comparison, the single-unit Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant located less than four miles away has an output of 671 MW. The state's other nuclear power plant, the 2-unit Prairie Island facility, is rated at 1,096 MW, so Sherco has a larger peak output than those plants put together. The station uses 20,000 to 30,000 tons of coal per day. The Burlington Northern Railroad delivers up to three 115-car trains per day from mines in the Powder River Basin.
