Columbus refuse/coal fired generating plant
The 90 MW power plant under construction in Columbus, Ohio is described. This plant is designed to burn, on a heat input basis, 80% shredded refuse and 20% coal, and is expected to save the equivalent of 150,000 tons of coal per year. Supported by a public referendum, this city-owned plant is also projected to save the city 2.5 million dollars per year in electric power costs. The facility should be completed by mid-1982. (LCL)
