About this plant
Fox Energy Center is a natural gas-fired, combined cycle electrical power station located in Kaukauna, Wisconsin in Outagamie County. The facility sits on property originally owned by Mid-America Corporation. The site was sold to Calpine Corporation around 2002. The original location slated for Fox Energy was located in Sherry, WI. Challenges with permitting for that location prompted Calpine to purchase the current location in Kaukauna, WI from Mid-America Corporation. In the spring of 2005, Calpine sold the facility to GE Energy Financial Services and entered a lease and operations and maintenance agreement with GE. In December 2005, Calpine filed bankruptcy and In October 2006, Calpine sold the O&M agreement to GE Energy Financial Services. GE Energy Financial Services then entered into an O&M agreement with GE Power in Atlanta, GA to hire the staff at Fox Energy and retain them to operate and maintain the facility.
