Sunflower plans open houses on coal plant permit and impacts
Sunflower will hold meetings to explain economic and environmental benefits, permitting steps, air quality concerns, and technology used for a proposed 895 megawatt coal plant beside its 360 megawatt station near Holcomb. KDHE review may take 3 to 6 months, with public hearings later this summer. construction could start soon after and run about four years, creating up to 2,000 peak jobs and adding up to 250 full-time positions. Most power would be sold out of state, with annual carbon emissions around five to six million tons, drawing opposition from environmental groups.
