Sunflower Faces Court Filing Over New 895 MW Plant
Critics call the plan unnecessary while Sunflower says the utility is not surprised by the court filing. The proposed 895 megawatt plant would meet peak demand for about 448000 homes, with much power sold to out of state cooperatives. Sunflower had sought two 700 MW plants in Finney County, but an October 2007 air permit denial due to CO2 emissions sparked a public policy clash.
