[3] The Kendall power plant was built in 1949, operating in "relative obscurity" for some time as it was only turned on when high energy levels were demanded.

The agreement ended "a six-year battle between the plant’s operators and environmentalists over its state and federal water discharge permits."

While it used natural gas primarily, it also had oil as a backup to produce both electricity and steam energy.
