The Blue Gill Lake Power Cooperative provides all the power needs for Frontier City and surrounding region. The power plant primarily generates electricity through the burning of liquefied natural gas, and through clean coal burning processes. Shipments of coal and natural gas arrive weekly, and the plant stores enough fuel on site to provide power for up to a year without needing any supplies. The plant connects directly to the regions rail system, allowing for rapid train-based shipments of materials.

Frontier City is located in a region of the planet that experiences frequent weather fronts that often result in powerful thunderstorms and blizzards. 107 Piscium Major’s atmosphere is 33% thicker than Earth’s; therefore, wind has 1/3 more strength than wind on Earth. Thus, high speed winds are much more dangerous and destructive.  The North Valley Plant is equipped with its own weather radar with a direct connection to the planet’s weather satellites. During periods of high winds, the plant goes into safe mode and reduces power production. Factories, businesses and schools are notified in the town to completely shut down within 12 hours of a notification being sent, and power is only than provided to residences, shelters, and emergency services. While operating in safe-mode two thirds of the plants transformers shut down to avoid any power surges if high winds damage any of the electric infrastructure.
