DOE OKs OUC Plant Under the CCPI

April 3, 2007 – The DOE announced the signing of a Record of Decision under the Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) which clears the way for construction of a clean coal-fired power plant co-owned by Southern Power Co., the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), and Kellogg, Brown and Root, utilizing innovative and efficient technology to reduce air pollution emissions. The DOE will provide $235 million in funding towards the construction of the $569-million, 285-megawatt coal gasification plant near Orlando, FL.

The Florida plant will use an integrated approach of coal gasification-combined cycle technology along with state-of-the-art emissions controls technology to reduce emissions, particularly mercury and CO2 and produce clean energy.
