The Indiana Utility Regulatory
Commission today approved a request from Sugar Creek Energy, L.L.C., to expand its current facility in Vigo County
and operate an additional 550MW power generation.
In
Cause 42015, the majority of the Commissioners found the approval of the plant
to be in the public interest. The facility will be located on an existing site
that adjoins the Wabash River in South Vigo County, Indiana.
To
allow the IURC to keep track of electric systems across the state, the order
requires the company to keep the IURC informed of progress during
construction. The company is also
required to seek prior approval of any transfer of assets owned by Sugar Creek
Energy, L.L.C.
Electricity
generated at the facility will be sold solely on the wholesale market. Sugar Creek Energy L.L.C. does not intend
and is not authorized by the IURC to
sell any electricity generated from this facility to the public on a retail
basis.
