Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
1,200 MW natural gas-fired combustion turbine facility, planned as an expansion of the existing Emery Generating Station (operational since 2004) and sited adjacent to it so the two can share infrastructure, reducing cost and land impact. Alliant states the rationale as meeting 'growing demand and load obligations' and strengthening 'long-term reliability and cost stability across the region'; data centers are not given as the primary justification on the operator's page, so no offtaker is recorded.
Alliant Energy held a public information meeting on the proposed Riverhawk Energy Center.
