Electric Production
MMU Power Plant
(Decommissioned and torn down in 2020)
Marshall residents created MMU's electric utility in 1916 when they were unhappy with the current for-profit Missouri Gas and Electric Service Company. In an era when electricity was becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity, municipal electricity seemed to be the answer. Legal battles and a World War prevented MMU from taking over all electric service in Marshall until early 1920.
