It was located in Green Bay, Wisconsin in Brown County.
The plant was named after the former Wisconsin Public Service Corporation president John Page Pulliam (–June 15, 1951).
As a result of EPA clean air act enforcement, two coal fired units were retired at Pulliam in 2015 and WPSC was required to make $300 million in upgrades at the Weston Generating Station.
[2] In 2016, WEC Energy (which purchased WPS in 2014) announced they would be retiring the remaining coal units at Pulliam due to lower natural gas prices and affordability of renewables, and they would retire the plant by the end of 2018.
[9] Some local groups expressed concern that the closure may affect local bald eagle populations due to the lack of waste heat keeping the mouth of the Fox River from freezing in the winter,[10] and peregrine falcon populations due to the removal of nesting boxes.
