Summary:POWER has been privileged to report on the excellent benchmarking studies conducted by the EUCG's Fossil Productivity Committee over the past several years. Another important function of the committee is to recognize its members' top-rated plants with suitable awards at the group's biannual meetings. The fall meeting recognizes members' best-performing large (250 MW) and small (250 MW) coal-fired plants during the previous year. We reported on Alliant Energy's Lansing and Edgewater Generating Stations' sweep of the two awards, respectively, in the February 2008 issue. The spring meeting looks beyond a plant's single good year to sustained operating excellence over a five-year period. Alliant Energy scored a hat trick when its Dubuque Generating Station (DGS) took those five-year honors in the small coal-fired plant division at the April 2008 meeting in San Antonio, repeating its win two years earlier.
