Coal-fired Plant Approved in Kentucky
LCG, Dec. 9, 2003--A planned 1,500-megawatt power plant intended to be built in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, has received a construction approval from the Kentucky State Board on Electric Generation and Transmission Siting.Transmission arrangements remain to be resolved before further progress can be made, according to the board's order. The plant, called the Thoroughbred Energy Campus, is expected to consume 6 million tons of coal annually, which would be obtained from a newly opened mine nearby. Two steam units of equal size would make up the plant.Thoroughbred would utilize advanced emissions-control technology, including selective catalytic reduction, and according to developer and coal company Peabody Energy, would have sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions more than 80 percent below those of the typical coal-burning plant in Kentucky.
