LCG, July 20, 2004--A number of Midwest rural electric cooperatives and municipal agencies, including Indiana Municipal Power Agency, the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission, and Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative in Michigan, have executed a letter of intent with Peabody Energy to acquire partial interest in the Prairie State Energy Campus in Washington County, Illinois.
