West Central Iowa | Here is some info on their current generating capacity from the CRMU website under electricity history.
As the electric utility entered the 21st century, the decision was made to replace the old standby generation plant due to the steady decline in reliability and sharply rising maintenance costs stemming from the ageing units and difficultly in acquiring parts. Therefore, in 2001, the electric utility installed three 1825 kW caterpillar diesel engines and generators at a cost of approximately $2.4M to ensure that Coon Rapids will always have a reliable local generation plant capable of carrying the system load.
I have not heard any info about how much money the utility may of earned by generating, but as Classic 4010 stated they were discussing forgiving one or 2 months utility bills.
