CARBON COUNTY, Wyo., June 2, 2026 – Seminoe Power Company LLC, an affiliate of Power Company of Wyoming LLC, is
developing the Miller Generating Station in Carbon County and offering two in-person opportunities for local
stakeholders to learn more about it.
The Miller Generating Station is a natural gas-fired power plant with about 2,000 MW of nameplate capacity, to be
co-located with PCW’s wind power on the same working cattle ranch. Seminoe is pursuing a permit from the Wyoming
Industrial Siting Council to construct, operate and decommission the proposed gas power plant.
In connection with this process, the Wyoming Industrial Siting Division has identified a “study area” that includes
local governments in the vicinity of the project in Carbon County (Rawlins, Sinclair, Hanna, Medicine Bow, Saratoga,
Encampment) and in Sweetwater County (Bairoil, Wamsutter).
Local governments and the public can attend the two open houses to obtain more information about the project, ask
questions and provide feedback for the company’s consideration.
Company representatives and consultants will be available at the following times and locations:
- 4 p.m.-7 p.m., Wednesday, June 10, Jeffrey Memorial Community Center, Rawlins.
- 4 p.m.-7 p.m., Thursday, June 11, Platte Valley Community Center, Saratoga.
The Miller Generating Station is situated on about 70 acres of private land, adjacent to the TransWest Express
Transmission Project’s substation south of Interstate 80. More information is available at
https://www.powercompanyofwyoming.com/gas-generation/.
The state’s comprehensive industrial siting process assures that jurisdictional projects are planned and constructed in
an environmentally responsible manner and are reviewed by experts at 19 different state agencies. For more information
