Fort Randall is a federally owned hydroelectric powerplant at Fort Randall Dam on the Missouri River in Charles Mix and Gregory Counties, South Dakota. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built, owns and operates it. Eight 40 MW generators give a 320 MW capacity; the first unit started in March 1954 and the eighth in January 1956. Western Area Power Administration uses the system's projects as an integral part of the Midwest power grid.
