STARS provides value to its member stations through a culture of continuous improvement. The member stations, Callaway, Diablo Canyon, Palo Verde, and Wolf Creek conduct activities through cooperative efforts. Although we are not a fleet, we leverage our natural synergies to make our performance better than what we could individually achieve.
