The Grand River Dam Authority was created by the Oklahoma Legislature in 1935 to be a ?conservation and reclamation district for the waters of the Grand River.? Part of this is to provide electric power within the district in northeastern Oklahoma. Most of GRDAʼs electric power is generated at the Coal Fired Complex, near Choteau, Ok. on Union Pacificʼs former Missouri Pacific line. The plant has two units rated at a total of 1,010 megawatts, burning 4.08 million tons of Powder River coal in 2004. This coal is hauled in a fleet of 745 Bethgons.
