Suit targets Duke Energy over coal-fired plant

INDIANAPOLIS » The Sierra Club is suing Duke Energy Corp. over an aging coal-fired power plant in southwestern Indiana set to be replaced by a high-tech plant, alleging the current facility violates provisions of the Clean Air Act.

The federal lawsuit, filed Thursday in Indianapolis, is the Sierra Club's latest action targeting Duke's planned $2 billion coal gasification power plant in Edwardsport.

It alleges that Charlotte, N.C.-based Duke has not obtained required permits for changes it has made over the years to the 160-megawatt coal-fired plant and has failed to install rigorous pollution controls the group contends are required under the Clean Air Act.

Duke spokeswoman Angeline Protogere said Duke's Edwardsport coal-fired plant operates in full compliance with the Clean Air Act. She said the air permit approved in January by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is a "legal air permit." (Associated Press)
