My Grandma Goldie and my dad were born in Oak Creek, back when Puetz Road was a dirt road. We love the small-town feel of Oak Creek, even as it develops into a larger, more diverse city. Oak Creek
We have generated reliable energy at our power plant site in Oak Creek since the 1950s. While the city and our operations have evolved since then, our Oak Creek site continues to be critical to powering a bright, sustainable future for Wisconsin.
