Public-Private Partnership
Partners
The ITC is a public-private partnership that brings together government, industry and cooperatives with the shared goal of developing commercially viable uses for carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. It is only through the leadership, creativity as well as the commitment of capital and personnel resources of the ITC’s private-sector partners that the center has become a reality.
Basin Electric Power Cooperative, along with co-owner Wyoming Municipal Power Company, is providing the site for the ITC at their Dry Fork Station, along with significant in-kind contributions for the design, engineering and construction of the facility. Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association committed $5 million to match Wyoming’s $15 million commitment. The National Rural Electric Cooperatives Association provided an addition $1 million in support as well.
State of Wyoming‘s energy powers the nation. Under the leadership of Governor Mark Gordon, the state fosters an environment in which innovators, researchers, developers and stakeholders can collaborate, gather support and move forward game-changing energy technology.
