Lucas Teigan, Basin Electric manager of construction, spent months on site throughout construction. His wife, Millisa, and children, Ruby and Millena, attended the dedication.
Steve Crane, Basin Electric.
Crane was at the Deer Creek Station dedication ceremony held Aug. 16. He took hundreds of photos of the celebration. The photos feature not only the power plant, but also many employees, friends, family and neighbors, who gathered to celebrate. We wanted him to tell us about some of his favorites. Watch the photo essay.
