Russell City Energy Center Survey
The City of Hayward announced on June 28, 2021, it opposes a request by Calpine to restart its Russell City Energy Center until the cause of a recent explosion at the power plant is known, and an assessment and public review of potential environmental and health impacts of the proposed resumption of operations is complete.
With ongoing negotiations with Calpine regarding the Energy Center, the City of Hayward requests the input of former residents of Russell City, their descendants, and other closely related parties on their thoughts on the name "Russell City Energy Center."
