Sunflower challenge to proceed to state appeals court
Sunflower Electric Power Corp faces an appeals path after the Office of Administrative Hearings agreed to review whether the regulator had authority to deny CO2 related air quality permits for a $3.6 billion expansion near Holcomb. The decision is nonbinding and the appellate court is expected to decide. Sunflower seeks rapid resolution while Health Secretary Bremby’s ruling cited CO2 climate concerns. Public filings are due Oct 27 and Nov 14, with a possible hearing result by Dec 14.
