Wisconsin regulators say no to new power plant | fdlreporter.com | Fond du Lac Reporter
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — State regulators have rejected a plan to build a new coal-fired power plant in southwestern Wisconsin.
Alliant Energy subsidiary Wisconsin Power & Light has been working for months to win permission for the $1.3 billion plant in Cassville on the Mississippi River. The company says the plant could produce enough energy to power 150,000 homes.
Environmentalists have opposed the project. But Alliant says it would use renewable fuel for 20 percent of the plant’s output and shut down an aging coal-fired boiler in Sheboygan.
Public Service Commission Chairman Eric Callisto says the project looks too expensive and the emissions control proposals won’t offset the plant’s pollution.
He suggested Alliant buy power from elsewhere or consider natural gas-fired plants.
