Utilities

Located on the west edge of campus, the UNI Power Plant generates steam and electrical power providing energy for lighting, heating and cooling systems for main campus buildings.

This co-generation plant uses four boilers with a total steam capacity of 345,000 pounds/hour. The steam is used on campus for building heat, domestic hot water heating, cooking in food services, and making chilled water for cooling via steam absorption chillers. The plant is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Steam and electricity are distributed from the plant to campus via tunnels, underground piping systems and underground conduit systems.

To report irregular utility conditions or utility interruptions, call 273-4400.

Scheduled Electrical Outages

Electrical maintenance activities are being scheduled over the next few years. These activities are preventative in nature to minimize the risk of electrical outages during the school year. Every building that is connected to the university's power plant electrical distribution system will require an outage. These outages should only affect one building at a time and will begin at 8:00 a.m. and continue until the maintenance activities for that building are finished. For the majority of buildings, the maintenance is expected to be a half day.

Please call 273-4400 with any questions.
