Power Plants
Cleco Power, our regulated utility, is an industry leader in the safe operation and management of its power plants. This tradition of excellence began in 1938 with Rea Station, the company's first power plant, in Bunkie, Louisiana. 
Today, Cleco Power operates four power plants with 3,803 megawatts of *nameplate generating capacity and owns 2,532 megawatts of this capacity.
Through Cleco Midstream Resources, our wholesale energy business, we operate one wholesale power plant with 775 megawatts of nameplate generating capacity.
We use a mixture of western coal, petroleum coke (petcoke), lignite, oil, and natural gas to serve our customers. This diverse fuel mix helps Cleco deliver reliable, low-cost power to its customers. We also have access to purchased power when it's needed and when it's more cost-effective than our generation. * Nameplate capacity represents the unit's capacity at the start of commercial operations.
