Midwest Coal Plant Expensive For Cities, Utilities

A coal-fired power plant in Illinois is expected to be costly for scores of cities and electric cooperatives in eight U.S. states, according to a report on Wednesday.
The Prairie State Energy Campus, a 1,600-megawatt power station under construction near Marissa, Illinois, is way over budget and has yet to produce low-cost electricity for those cities and cooperatives that bought into the project, the report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis said.
