STATE LINE ENERGY DROPS PLANS TO BUILD MERCHANT PLANT

 

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission today dismissed a request from State Line Energy, L.L.C. to build a 550-megawatt, gas-fired, electric generating facility in Lake County, Indiana.

 

In Cause 41590, the Commissioners unanimously agreed to allow the company to withdraw its petition to build the plant at its existing electric generating station in the City of Hammond, due to concerns about availability of water.
