Missouri River Energy Services Public Relations Director Bill Radio tells KNIA/KRLS News that there were several reasons Pella was chosen for the new Hydroelectric Plant. Radio says one of benefits is the size of the lake which provides substantial power during the summer when they need it most, and Pella being a member community to Missouri River also contributed to their selection. He adds that there are other dams and waterways that will be utilized in the future, but right now they are focusing on finishing the Red Rock project during the next four years.
