E. J. Stoneman Generating Station is a coal fired, electrical power station located in Cassville, Wisconsin in Grant County.

Purchased by WPS in 1996, there have been a few attempts to repower the facility, but the site is located next to the Cassville Municipal Airport presenting problems with additional stacks. In 1997, a 300-500 MW natural gas facility was proposed for the site.[1] In 2001, plans called for the airports closure to allow the addition of a 200 MW coal facility.[2] As of 2008, the airport remains open and the power plant remains 53 MW. However, there are plans to repower the facility, which is mothballed, with a 300 MW coal plant.[3]
