IEPA issues draft permit for Taylorville plant
Coal Trader (19-Oct-11)

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued a draft construction permit Tuesday for Tenaska's proposed $3.5 billion Taylorville Energy Center coal gasification plant in Christian County.

Under the permit, Christian County Generation, a Tenaska subsidiary, would be allowed to construct emission units and air pollution control equipment for the project, which would generate an estimated 602 MW. The Omaha, Nebraska-based independent power producer would be permitted to install a gasification block with two coal gasifiers and a power block with two turbines. The plant would convert high-sulfur Illinois coal into synthetic natural gas that would be burned in the turbines to generate electricity.

The state agency scheduled a December 1 public hearing on the draft permit. Public comments will be accepted by IEPA through the end of this year.

Recently, Illinois Senate President John Cullerton announced plans to revive stalled legislation authorizing the project when lawmakers convene in Springfield later this fall for a two-week veto session (PCT 10/10).

Earlier this year, Tenaska's supporters opted to delay a final vote on the bill when it became apparent they did not have enough votes to pass the measure.
