The PSI Energy Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project

This paper discusses the Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project which will develop, design, construct, own, and operate a coal gasification combined cycle (CGCC) power plant. Coal gasification technology will be used to repower one of six units at PSI's Wabash River Generating Station in West Terre Haute, Indiana. The CGCC power plant will produce a nominal 270 net MW of clean, energy efficient, capacity for PSI's customers. In the repowered configuration, PSI and its customers may additionally benefit because of the role this Project could play in PSI's compliance pan under the CAAA regulations. The Project will use locally mined, high sulfur coal. Upon completion, the Project will not only represent the largest CGCC power plant (in operation in the United States), but will also emit lower emissions than most other high sulfur coal-fired power plants.
