Dairyland Power Cooperative, located in La Crosse, Wisconsin supplies People's Cooperative Services with our electric power. Dairyland Power owns and operates several power plants. Our base load coal-fired power plants are located along the Mississippi River in Wisconsin. We also have natural gas, hydroelectric, landfill gas, and animal waste-to-energy power plants in Wisconsin, that help supply us with the power that is needed.

Dairyland purchases wind and additional landfill gas generation from facilities in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa.

Distribution Automation - Dairyland and its member cooperatives will be benefiting from Distribution Automation, an innovative communication technology currently in a pilot phase. The new system, created by Dairyland Telecommunication and Operations Control Systems staff, provides a secure path for substation metering, control and automatic meter reading information from a substation to member cooperative offices.
