Electric
The Electric Utility was created in 1909 to serve Wahoo with downtown street lighting. A steam-generated power plant was used for the nighttime hours for lighting. In 1935, 2 diesel generators were added to serve the increasing electric load. Electric distribution lines were added to the town and surrounding area.
Currently, the electric utility has 9 full time employees. There are 5 employees for the electric distribution system and 4 at the Power Plant. The Power Plant has 6 diesel/natural gas generators with a total capacity of 13.5 Megawatts. The electric distribution system extends in and around Wahoo, including nearby Weston.
